Varanasi & Ayodhya
2 nights / 3 days
Kashi and Ram Janmabhoomi, with the 220 km between them driven at a sane hour.
₹7,999
per person, twin sharing
Varanasi to Ayodhya is 220 km and four to five hours on NH-31 and NH-330. Most itineraries pretend it is shorter. We leave at 06:00 so the Ayodhya afternoon is still usable.
Where you go
