Varanasi
Stop sequence is a planning overview, not live navigation. Road access and the final itinerary are confirmed for your travel date.
At your destination
Discover Ayodhya
On the banks of the Saryu, Ayodhya brings together temple visits, riverside walks and busy neighbourhoods shaped by generations of travellers. Leave room between darshan and your return journey rather than fitting every stop into a rushed visit.
- 01
Ram Mandir
Plan around current entry arrangements and security checks. Keep identification handy and confirm permitted belongings before your visit.
- 02
Hanuman Garhi
A prominent temple reached by steps; allow extra time and discuss walking requirements with older family members.
- 03
Saryu riverfront
An unhurried riverside stop can round out your visit. Evening ceremonies depend on local schedules and your arrival time.
Before you set offFestival dates and weekends can bring heavy crowds. Agree on a permitted drop-off point and keep the driver's contact available for the return pickup.
At your destination
Discover Prayagraj
Prayagraj combines the river landscapes of the Triveni Sangam with museums and neighbourhoods connected to India's modern history. Plan riverside visits separately from city sightseeing, especially when large gatherings change local access.
- 01
Triveni Sangam
Visit the confluence area with time for walking and local arrangements. Any boat ride is optional, weather-dependent and separately agreed.
- 02
Anand Bhawan
A worthwhile heritage stop for travellers interested in the freedom movement; check current admission details before adding it.
- 03
Riverfront and city visits
Choose a small number of stops so traffic and riverside access do not make the day feel rushed.
Before you set offDuring major bathing dates and events, road diversions may affect the final approach. Confirm drop-off restrictions close to your travel date.
At your destination
Discover Varanasi
Varanasi rewards a slower pace: riverside ghats, temple lanes and the nearby heritage of Sarnath each deserve their own time. A private road journey gets you to the city, but the older neighbourhoods are best explored on foot or by permitted local transport.
- 01
Kashi Vishwanath
Check current darshan and security arrangements. Temple lanes may require walking from the nearest permitted vehicle drop-off.
- 02
Ganga ghats
Plan a riverside walk or an evening aarti visit without assuming a reserved viewing spot. Boat rides are optional and arranged separately.
- 03
Sarnath
A distinct excursion focused on Buddhist heritage; allow time outside the old city rather than treating it as a quick ghat-side stop.
Before you set offComfortable footwear and a modest day bag help in the lanes. Confirm the nearest accessible pickup point before leaving the vehicle.
