Planning a Varanasi Tour? Complete Guide to Packages & Itineraries

Planning a Varanasi Tour? Complete Guide to Packages & Itineraries

Varanasi tour planning is definitely not the same as a regular holiday.

One can say that Varanasi is not a typical destination. It is not a place where people come to see just the sights. Rather, they come with their faith, their questions, sometimes with worn, out bodies, and sometimes with silent hopes. Therefore, the planning factor is still much more important than people assume.

I have been arranging tours for pilgrims and families from UP, Bihar, MP, and Nepal for quite some time now and one thing has become very obviousa well planned itinerary makes Varanasi feel like a serene place rather than an overwhelming one.

Start With Understanding Your Purpose of Visit

Before examining any package, take a moment to think about the reason for your trip.

Most people visiting Varanasi are doing one or more of the following:

Kashi Vishwanath temple darshan Ganga Aarti experience Pitru Pooja or ancestral rituals a short spiritual break with family If darshan and rituals happen to be your primary goal, your schedule will be radically different from that of a person whose main purpose is to do sightseeing.

This is the point where Best Kashi Tour Packages come to the rescue because they are not just about places but rather about your purpose.

How Many Days Are Enough for Varanasi?

Many tourists do not take this into consideration and as a result they later complain that they do not have enough time.

Ideal duration:

2 Days: Extremely tight, only main darshan and Ganga Aarti

3 Days: Balanced and comfortable (most recommended)

4, 5 Days: Leisurely tempo with local temples and Sarnath

Typically, three days are sufficient for elderly people and family travelers. One can have a rest, stay away from the rush, hour crowds and at the same time feel the spiritual rhythm of the city.

Varanasi Tour Plan with 3 days

Day 1: Arrival & Evening Ganga Aarti

By train or flight, reach Varanasi. After a rest, go to Dashashwamedh Ghat for an evening Ganga Aarti. Visitors who come there for the first time, usually say that only this moment is enough to make the trip worthwhile.

Day 2: Temple Darshan & Local Sightseeing

The visit to Kashi Vishwanath temple should be done very early in the morning. After that, Varanasi major tourist places can be covered like the:

Annapurna TempleKalbhairav TempleSankat MochanTulsi Manas MandirThis day seems to be full of activities, therefore the choice of the means of transport and the time is very important.

Day 3: Sarnath & Departure

A day with fewer activities. Sarnath offers a different kind of silence. It is perfect to be there before going away.

Most of the Varanasi travel packages are planned in this way or around this itinerary for a reason, it is efficient.

There are a lot of Varanasi holiday packages to choose from on the internet. Some appear to be less expensive, while others seem to be more luxurious. But the most important thing is:

, Coordination of darshan timing

, Distance of the hotel from ghats

, Vehicle comfort for elders

, Flexibility in the itinerary

Many pilgrims lament the fact that they have booked standard tours which do not take into account walking distance or temple rush hours. Hence, travelers are more likely to select Kashi tour packages organized by local operators who know the daily temple flow rather than just relying on Google maps.
