Varanasi Ayodhya Bodhgaya Chitrakoot Tour
A 7 day spiritual circuit through Varanasi, Bodh Gaya, Ayodhya and Chitrakoot. Kashi Vishwanath, the Ganga Aarti, the Mahabodhi Temple, Ayodhya and the forests of Lord Ram's exile, with hotels and an AC cab planned for you.
Varanasi Ayodhya Bodhgaya Chitrakoot Tour Overview
This circuit brings together four of the most important spiritual places in north and east India. Varanasi is the city of Kashi Vishwanath and the Ganga ghats. Bodh Gaya is where the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree. Ayodhya is the birthplace of Lord Ram, and Chitrakoot is where he spent much of his exile.
Our plan gives two nights in Varanasi for the evening Ganga Aarti, the Kashi Vishwanath darshan and Sarnath, then moves to Bodh Gaya for the Mahabodhi Temple and Gaya's Vishnupad. The long drive to Ayodhya is planned with stops and, if you prefer, a train option. Ayodhya gets two nights for the Ram Mandir, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan and the Saryu ghats, and the tour ends at Chitrakoot.
Temple darshan timings and entry slots change, especially at Ayodhya, so we check them for your dates and plan accordingly.

Travel Tips and Guidelines
- Check darshan slots. Ram Mandir and Kashi Vishwanath may have slot or booking systems. We confirm the current rules.
- Start early. Early morning is best for ghats and temples, with fewer crowds.
- Dress modestly. Wear modest clothes and carry a scarf. Footwear is not allowed at temples.
- Mind the long drive. The Bodh Gaya to Ayodhya leg is long. Carry snacks, water and a neck pillow, or choose a train option.
- Use official guides. Agree on boat and guide rates in advance, and avoid unsolicited helpers.
- Carry cash. Small shops, boats and offerings often need cash or UPI.
- Winter fog. December and January fog can delay trains and drives, so allow extra time.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions, temple timings or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather, road closures or flight cancellations is payable by the guest.
