Uttar Pradesh Tour Package: Varanasi, Prayagraj & Ayodhya in 4 Divine Nights

Upon your arrival at Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport, Varanasi (VNS) or the nearest railway station, you will be warmly received by our representative and taken to the hotel for your transfer. After you have checked in, take time to freshen up and unwind from your trip.

As sunset approaches, get ready for a truly spiritual and enchanting experience. In the later part of the day, a vintage rickshaw ride will transport you along the crowded, narrow lanes of the ancient city to the famous Dashashwamedh Ghat. 

There, you will experience the world-renowned Ganga Aarti, an uplifting and spiritual ceremony conducted by priests with fire lamps, recitations, and rhythmic hymns in honor of the sacred river Ganga. The lighted ghats, the aroma of incense sticks, and the tinkling of conch shells set the tone for devotion and peacefulness—providing a gentle introduction to the divine essence of Varanasi.

Experience the enchanting sight of floating diyas on the river, freezing a moment which seems timeless. After this magical experience, back to the hotel for an overnight stay in peace at Varanasi, contemplating the divine vibrations of the evening.

The moment you arrive, alxtrip makes sure your trip is effortless and inspiring, providing bespoke experiences that linger forever.

Your day in Varanasi starts even before the dawn, with a peaceful early morning boat ride on the sacred River Ganges. As the morning sun rises over the horizon, see the age-old ghats spring to life with spiritual activity—pilgrims praying, chanting hymns, and bathing in sacred waters. This otherworldly experience sets the tone for your day in India's sacred city.

After the boat ride, go ahead and visit the holy Kashi Vishwanath Temple, which is a shrine of Lord Shiva, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas found in India. Observe from afar the Gyanvapi Mosque, a reflection of the city's complex history and religious diversity.

Come back to your hotel for a healthy breakfast before embarking on a spiritual tour to Sarnath, which is only 12 km from Varanasi. The holy place where Lord Buddha gave his very first sermon after enlightenment and laid the ground for the Buddhist Sangha.

In Sarnath, visit the imposing Dhamekh Stupa, one of the most important and sacred Buddhist stupas in the world. Be in harmony with the energy and serenity of this serene spot that welcomes pilgrims from across the earth. In the evening, visit the Sarnath Museum, which has an excellent collection of Buddhist remains, such as the renowned Ashokan Lion Capital, the national symbol of India.

After such a spirituality and history-infused day, come back to Varanasi for an overnight hotel stay. Contemplate the deep wisdom of Buddha and the timeless atmosphere of this timeless city.

Let AlxTrip be your guide through experiences that will link you to centuries of wisdom, faith, and inner calm.

Following a refreshing breakfast, check out of your hotel and start your scenic intercity journey from Varanasi to Prayagraj (previous name Allahabad), a mythologically rich city and spiritual magnet.

On reaching Prayagraj, go for the check-in at your hotel and take a brief break to relax and freshen up. 

Short while later, your spiritual path continues as you walk to the fabled Triveni Sangam—the meeting of three holy rivers: Ganga, Yamuna, and unseen Saraswati. The confluence itself is very sacred in Hinduism, with believers thinking that bathing in this spot eradicates sin and provides moksha (liberation). If you'd like, take a boat across to the Sangam and feel the divine peace that permeates this spiritual hub.

Then, go to the holy Hanuman Mandir, famous for its gigantic reclining idol of Lord Hanuman which gets half-submerged during monsoons. Visit the historic Anand Bhavan, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's ancestral residence and now a museum depicting India's freedom movement.

If time allows, you can also visit Allahabad Fort (depending on permission), a Mughal architectural beauty constructed by Emperor Akbar close to the Sangam, which accommodates the mystical Akshayavat (immortal banyan tree).

Back to your hotel for an overnight stay in Prayagraj later in the evening, reminiscing about a day packed with history, spirituality, and the eternal flow of India's holy rivers.

After a hearty breakfast, check out from your hotel in Prayagraj and begin your intercity transfer to Ayodhya, one of India’s most revered spiritual destinations and the legendary birthplace of Lord Ram. The scenic drive offers glimpses of rural Uttar Pradesh, unfolding layers of timeless culture and devotion along the way.

On reaching Ayodhya, check into your hotel and relax for a while before freshening up. Then, proceed on a spiritual tour of the holy city that resounds with stories from the Ramayana.

Your first destination is the holiest of them all—Ram Janmabhoomi, Lord Ram's birthplace and a center of devotion for millions of believers. Take a walk through this spiritually vibrant complex and soak in the divine aura that fills each stone.

Then, go to Hanumangarhi, a temple and fort dedicated to Lord Hanuman, who is believed to guard Ayodhya. Ascend the steps to pray before the powerful follower of Ram and take in the panoramic view of the city.

Proceed with your exploration by visiting Kanak Bhavan Temple, a splendidly decorated shrine claimed to have been presented to Sita by Queen Kaikeyi. Its golden images of Ram and Sita leave all the visitors spellbound.

Move on to Treta Ke Thakur, the holy place where Lord Ram is said to have performed the Ashwamedha Yagna to celebrate his triumph over Ravana. Terminate your temple tour at Dashrath Mahal, the palace of King Dashrath, the father of Lord Ram.

Return to your hotel after a spiritually enriching day for an overnight stay in Ayodhya, full of divine thoughts and cultural awe.

With the rising sun still shining over Ayodhya, the last day of your pilgrimage starts. Enjoy a relaxed breakfast at your hotel and then check out as it is time to head out for Varanasi's Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS). The journey winds its way through the city-stirring landscapes of Uttar Pradesh—each mile a subtle reminder of the divine moments you've collected over the last few days.

Ponder over the deep spiritual marks imprinted by Ganga aarti in Varanasi, the tranquility of meditation at Sarnath, the sacred confluence at Prayagraj, and the ageless tales of Lord Ram at Ayodhya. Each place, each temple, and each riverbank had more to offer than sightseeing—it had access to India's ancient soul.

Whether it was the serene sunrise boat journey along the Ganges, the holy chants reverberating from centuries-old temples, or the serene atmosphere of Buddhist stupas, your travels were one of discovery, of devotion, and inner enlightenment.

As you land at Varanasi Airport, say goodbye to a country where myth treads alongside the real world. While the journey may end here, the spiritual quotient and cultural abundance that you've seen will linger in your heart long after.

We wish you this carefully curated adventure with alxtrip filled your heart with peace, your mind with awe, and your spirit with delight. Safe and comfortable flight home to you. Until we again meet—namaste and happy travels!
