Start with the sights of the capital and travel all the way to Kashi. This twelve-day plan adds Delhi sightseeing and an extra day in Haridwar to the classic North India pilgrimage, so the pace stays easy and every city gets the time it deserves.
Two days in Delhi help you settle in before the yatra, and three nights in Haridwar give you a calm, unhurried start on the banks of the Ganga.
This 12 Days Delhi Haridwar Mathura Ayodhya Prayagraj Varanasi Tour begins with a proper look at Delhi – Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, Akshardham, Red Fort and Chandni Chowk. From there you travel to Haridwar and Rishikesh, spend three days in Braj, and continue to Ayodhya, Prayagraj and Varanasi. It is the best choice for travellers coming from abroad or other states who want to see it all in one holiday.
We meet you at the Delhi airport or railway station and take you to your hotel. After some rest, begin a gentle city tour. See the soaring Qutub Minar, the white petals of the Lotus Temple, and drive along Rajpath past India Gate and Parliament House. Families with children can also stop at the Delhi Zoo.
