Classic Kashi (5N6D)
Description
The Classic Kashi Tour from Nepal is a deeply spiritual journey connecting Nepal with the sacred heartlands of India. Starting from Kathmandu or Gorakhpur, travelers cross into India to reach the timeless city of Varanasi (Kashi), revered as one of the oldest living cities in the world. Here, pilgrims experience the divine Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, perform rituals at the holy Kashi Vishwanath Temple, and enjoy a serene boat ride along the Ganges at sunrise.
The journey continues to Sarnath, where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon, and to Prayagraj (Allahabad), where the holy confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati offers devotees a chance to take a purifying dip. The pilgrimage then leads to Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama, where one can visit Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, Hanuman Garhi, and the Saryu River ghats.
This tour is ideal for devotees seeking blessings, cultural travelers eager to witness India’s spiritual traditions, and anyone looking to connect with the roots of Hindu and Buddhist heritage. With comfortable travel, guided visits, and sacred experiences, the Classic Kashi Tour promises to be a transformative and unforgettable journey.
