Complete North-India Pilgrimage Tour Package from Varanasi

All Tours
7 to 14 days₹12,000 onwards / personBest: October to March; September (Pitru Paksha) for the Gaya leg

The flagship North-India pilgrimage — Kashi, Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Gaya, Bodhgaya, Chitrakoot, Mathura — in 7 to 14 days. Comfortable AC vehicles, experienced drivers.

This is the comprehensive pilgrimage circuit for families who want to cover the major Hindu pilgrimage sites of North India in a single trip. The standard 10-day route covers the Ramayana sites (Ayodhya, Chitrakoot), the Krishna sites (Mathura, Vrindavan), the ancestral-ritual sites (Gaya, Prayagraj Sangam), the Buddhist sites (Sarnath, Bodhgaya), and Kashi itself. A compressed 7-day version skips Mathura/Vrindavan; the extended 14-day version adds Naimisharanya, Vindhyachal, Haridwar, and Kedarnath / Badrinath (in season). The route can also include Pind Daan rituals at Gaya, Saryu Aarti at Ayodhya, and a Yamuna boat ride at Mathura. We tailor the itinerary around your priorities — Vaishnav, Shaiv, or Shakta — and your timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days do I need for a complete North India pilgrimage?
A focused 7-day version covers Kashi, Ayodhya, Prayagraj, and Bodhgaya. The standard 10-day version adds Chitrakoot and Gaya pind daan. The full 14-day version adds Mathura-Vrindavan and either Naimisharanya or Vindhyachal. Most family groups choose 10 days.
Can children join the pilgrimage tour?
Yes — we've operated this tour with children as young as 6. The pace is slower than a sightseeing tour. Air-conditioned tempo traveller is the most kid-friendly. We recommend the 10-day version (the 14-day can be tiring for younger children).
Do I need to perform Pind Daan to join this tour?
No — Pind Daan at Gaya is optional. If you don't need it, we skip Vishnupad and use that day for additional Bodhgaya time or a Sasaram (Rohtas Fort) stopover. Mention your preference at booking.
What is the average daily cost beyond the tour package?
Plan for ₹1,200–₹2,500 per person per day for hotel, ₹600–₹1,000 for meals, ₹300–₹800 for temple donations, boat rides, and minor purchases. Premium hotel groups should budget ₹4,500–₹8,500 per person per day extra.
Can we extend the tour to Char Dham (Kedarnath / Badrinath / Yamunotri / Gangotri)?
Yes — between April and October. Char Dham adds 8–10 days to the trip. We arrange the helicopter darshan at Kedarnath for groups with mobility constraints. Char Dham permits and YATRA registration must be done online 4–6 weeks in advance.
