About this tour
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.
