Kashi, Prayagraj & Ayodhya Yatra (4 Nights)

Highlights & Route

Kashi, Prayagraj and Ayodhya sit close enough to each other that a single, unhurried road yatra can cover all three. This 4-night, 5-day yatra begins and ends in Varanasi, so you need only one return train or flight. In between, a private AC vehicle carries you from the Ganga ghats to the Sangam and on to the Saryu, with a night halt in each city.

Varanasi gets two nights. That allows a dawn boat ride past the ghats, a proper darshan at Kashi Vishwanath, the Vishalakshi Shakti Peeth and Annapurna temples nearby, and an afternoon at Sarnath where the Buddha gave his first sermon. Prayagraj is about the holy dip where Ganga and Yamuna meet, followed by the reclining Hanuman at the Bade Hanuman Mandir. Ayodhya brings the yatra to a close with the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir, Hanuman Garhi and Kanak Bhavan, and an evening at the Saryu ghats.

We plan this circuit for mixed-age family groups. Each day has one main temple visit and one driving stretch of three to four hours at most, with time for rest in the afternoon. Meals are pure vegetarian breakfast and dinner at the hotel. Tell us about anyone who walks slowly or needs a ground-floor room, and we will adjust the plan before you travel.

Good to know before you book

Phones, cameras and bags are not allowed inside Kashi Vishwanath Dham or the Ram Mandir premises. Both have locker counters near the entry gates; carry only an ID card and a little cash.
Kashi Vishwanath’s paid Sugam Darshan and aarti tickets are sold only through the temple trust’s own website. Do not pay anyone at the gate for a quick darshan.
Ram Mandir darshan is free. Aarti passes are also free and issued by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust; walk-in darshan is possible without a pass.
The Sangam boat ride, personal pujas and Sarnath museum tickets are paid locally and are not part of the package price.
Crowds peak on Shravan Mondays, Mahashivratri, Dev Deepawali, Ram Navami and during the Magh Mela (January–February) at Prayagraj. Expect longer queues on these dates.
Summer (April–June) is very hot in this belt; October to March is the comfortable season for walking the ghats.

Yatra Highlights

Holy dip at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj

Day 1 :

Arrive in Varanasi, evening Ganga Aarti

Our driver meets you at your arrival point (airport, railway station or hotel) at the agreed time at Varanasi airport or railway station and takes you to the hotel. After rest and lunch on your own, we go to Dashashwamedh Ghat before dusk for the Ganga Aarti. Arriving early gives you a seat on the steps; the ceremony itself lasts around 45 minutes. Dinner at the hotel.

Overnight: Varanasi

Day 2 :

Kashi Vishwanath, Vishalakshi, Annapurna and Sarnath

An early start for a boat ride along the ghats as the sun rises, then darshan at Kashi Vishwanath. The Vishalakshi Shakti Peeth and the Annapurna temple are a short walk from the main complex, so we cover them together. Back to the hotel for breakfast and rest. In the afternoon we drive about 10 km to Sarnath to see the Dhamek Stupa, the ruins of the ancient monastery and the museum (closed on Fridays). We return via Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple for the evening. Dinner at the hotel.

Overnight: Varanasi

Day 3 :

Varanasi to Prayagraj, Sangam snan

After breakfast we drive roughly 120 km to Prayagraj, about three to four hours. Check in and rest, then head to the Triveni Sangam. A boat takes you out to the exact point where the Ganga and Yamuna meet for the holy dip; those who prefer not to bathe can simply do achaman and offer prayers from the boat. On the way back we visit the Bade Hanuman Mandir below the Akbar Fort walls. Dinner at the hotel.

Overnight: Prayagraj

Day 4 :

Prayagraj to Ayodhya, Ram Mandir and Hanuman Garhi

Breakfast, then a drive of about 170 km (around four hours) to Ayodhya. We time the arrival for the afternoon darshan slot at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir. Afterwards, we climb the steps of Hanuman Garhi (or use the slower side route for elderly yatris), visit Kanak Bhavan and Sita Ki Rasoi, and spend the evening at Ram Ki Paidi and Guptar Ghat on the Saryu. Dinner at the hotel.

Overnight: Ayodhya

Day 5 :

Ayodhya to Varanasi, departure

Those who wish can take a morning dip in the Saryu before breakfast. We then drive back to Varanasi, around 200 km and four to five hours, and drop you at your departure point (airport, railway station or hotel). If you prefer to leave from Ayodhya or Lucknow instead, tell us at booking and we will plan the last day accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand all

Can we take a dip in the Saryu at Ayodhya?

Yes. On Day 4 evening we are at Ram Ki Paidi and Guptar Ghat on the Saryu after Ram Mandir darshan. On Day 5 morning, those who wish can take a dip in the Saryu before breakfast and the drive back to Varanasi. Carry a towel and a change of clothes. This is in addition to the holy dip at the Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj on Day 3.

Is the price per person or per group?

The displayed price is per person on twin or triple sharing, for the inclusions listed. The exact figure depends on your group size, travel dates and hotel category, so please ask for a quote before deciding.

Can we do Kashi Vishwanath darshan without standing in the long queue?

The temple trust runs a paid Sugam Darshan service, booked only on its official website (shrikashivishwanath.org). It shortens the wait but does not remove it entirely on busy days. We can guide you through the booking; the ticket cost is extra.

Do we need a pass for Ram Mandir darshan?

No. General darshan is free and open through the day in two sessions. Passes are needed only for the aartis, and those are also free, issued online by the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust or at its counter in Ayodhya with a photo ID.

Is the holy dip at the Sangam safe for elderly people?

Yes, if done from the boat or at the roped bathing area with the boatman’s help. The current at the meeting point is gentle in most months. Those who do not wish to enter the water can sprinkle Sangam water on themselves and offer prayers instead.

Which is the best season for this yatra?

October to March. The weather is pleasant for walking the ghats, and Dev Deepawali (November) and the Magh Mela (January–February) fall in this period. April to June is very hot, and July to September brings heavy rain and high river levels, which can suspend boat rides.

Can the yatra start from Ayodhya or Lucknow instead of Varanasi?

Yes. The circuit works equally well in reverse, and Lucknow airport is about 135 km from Ayodhya. Tell us your arrival point and we will reorder the nights without changing the price much.

Are the meals pure vegetarian?

Yes. Breakfast and dinner at all hotels are vegetarian. Varanasi and Ayodhya are also full of good vegetarian eateries for lunch, and our driver can point you to clean places near the temples.
