Discover the rich cultural heritage of Hinduism during this exclusive three-day itinerary in Varanasi.
Day 01: Upon arrival at Varanasi Airport, guests will be received by our team and promptly transferred to their pre-arranged accommodation in Varanasi. During this journey, visitors may opt to explore the site of Sarnath, where Gautama Buddha first delivered his teachings, marking the beginning of the Buddhist Sangha, and where the enlightened disciple Kondanna achieved spiritual awakening.
Day 02: Early mornings, guests embark upon a serene boat ride along the sacred River Ganges, immersing themselves in the profound ritualistic practices taking place at its banks. Following the boat ride, they shall return to their accommodations for breakfast. Subsequently, guests undertake a city tour of Varanasi, visiting notable landmarks such as the Sankat Mochan Temple, the Bharat Mata Temple, and the Tulsi Manas Temple. Their itinerary concludes with a visit to Banaras Hindu University, followed by a leisurely lunch. Post-lunch, they proceed to explore the ghats of Varanasi, including Harischandra Ghat, Dashahwamedha Ghat, and Manikarnika Ghat, where they can witness the solemnity of Hindu funeral rites.
Day 03: Commencing their day with a hearty breakfast, guests depart for Bodhgaya after approximately six hours' drive. Upon reaching their accommodation, guests are invited to participate in the traditional practice of Pinda Daan, symbolizing respect for the deceased. Following this, they travel to nearby Gaya, located just 18 kilometers away, where accommodation options are limited. Guests may choose to rest or continue exploring the area before returning to their Bodhgaya hotel.
Day 04: After breakfast, guests check out from their Bodhgaya hotel and set off towards Varanasi. Upon arrival, their chauffeur will transport them to the airport, ensuring their timely departure for their next destination.
