Your journey to Kashi begins from Delhi by flight or train, whichever suits your schedule. A direct flight from Delhi takes about 1.5 hours, while the Vande Bharat Express from New Delhi reaches Varanasi by early afternoon. If you prefer to travel overnight, board an evening train from Delhi and arrive in Varanasi the next morning, rested and ready.

On arrival at Varanasi Airport or Railway Station, our representative will meet you and drive you to your hotel. After check-in and a short rest, begin your spiritual tour with darshan at the ancient Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Continue to Annapurna Temple and Kal Bhairav Temple, the guardian deity of Kashi. In the evening, head to Dashashwamedh Ghat to watch the famous Ganga Aarti, with an optional boat ride to see the ceremony from the river. Overnight stay in Varanasi.

Start early with a sunrise boat ride on the Ganga and watch the ghats come alive with morning prayers, bathing rituals and temple bells. Return to the hotel for breakfast, then drive about 10 km to Sarnath, where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Visit the Dhamek Stupa, Chaukhandi Stupa, Mulagandha Kuti Vihar and the Sarnath Museum (closed on Fridays).

On the way back, stop at Banaras Hindu University and the New Vishwanath Temple on its campus. Spend the evening exploring the old city markets for Banarasi silk, handicrafts and street food such as kachori sabzi and Banarasi lassi. Overnight stay in Varanasi.

After breakfast, check out and visit Assi Ghat, Tulsi Ghat and the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, with a view of Manikarnika Ghat, one of the oldest ghats in Kashi. Keep some time for last-minute shopping for Banarasi sarees and souvenirs.

Our driver then drops you at Varanasi Airport or Railway Station for your return to Delhi. Evening flights reach Delhi the same night, while overnight trains bring you back to Delhi the next morning.
