Day 01: ARRIVAL AT VARANASI – GANGA AARTI EXPERIENCE

Upon arrival at Varanasi Airport or Railway Station, meet our representative and transfer to your pre-booked hotel for check-in. After some time to relax, spend the evening at the sacred Dashashwamedh Ghat, where you will witness the world-famous Ganga Aarti, a breathtaking spiritual ceremony featuring rhythmic chants, illuminated lamps, and devotional rituals performed on the banks of the holy River Ganga. You may also enjoy a peaceful boat ride on the River Ganga (direct payment) to experience the beautifully lit ghats from the waterside. After this unforgettable spiritual experience, return to the hotel for an overnight stay in Varanasi.

Begin your day early with the divine Darshan of Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Continue to the nearby Annapurna Devi Temple, Vishalakshi Temple, and the revered Kaal Bhairav Temple, the guardian deity of Kashi. Return to the hotel for breakfast before proceeding to Sarnath, the holy Buddhist pilgrimage site where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon after attaining enlightenment. Explore the Mulagandhakuti Vihara, Sarnath Museum, Chaukhandi Stupa, Dhamek Stupa, Dharmarajika Stupa, Monastery, and the sacred Sarangnath Temple. Later, visit the New Kashi Vishwanath (Birla) Temple within BHU, followed by the famous Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, Durga Temple, and Tulsi Manas Mandir. Return to the hotel for a peaceful overnight stay.

Day 03: VARANASI – DEPARTURE

After breakfast, check out from the hotel and, depending on your departure schedule, enjoy some leisure time before transferring to Varanasi Airport or Railway Station for your onward journey.

We, colleagues had a trip in Kerala. We shared our plan details with Leisure trips. They planned our tour very perfectly. They got hardly 3 days to plan. But in that very short time, they responded to us, planned so good. Stay, site seeing, food everything was good. We really had a great time. We wish to choose Leisure trips again.

I would like to thank Leisure Trips for organizing such a wonderful tour package to Wayanad. The team's regular follow-ups and prompt support throughout the trip made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. A special mention goes to our stay at Seagot Banasura, which truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you for making our trip memorable. We look forward to traveling with Leisure Trips again.
