The 8 Days Buddhist Circuit Varanasi Sarnath Bodhgaya Tour Package is an excellent choice for a serene and pious holiday. You should carry a printed ID proof, medicines, sunscreens, hats, and a reusable water bottle. It is best to dress in cotton and comfortable clothes as you will have to walk a lot. Temples, monasteries, archaeological sites, and meditation centers are some of the highlights of this tour package.
Holy places like the Mahabodhi Temple, Kashi Vishwanath Temple, and many more have specific dress codes, and some restrict the use of electronic devices like mobile phones and cameras. It is best not to carry big bags or leather bags in restricted places. As a pilgrim, it is essential to keep in mind that a lot of places require you to be particular about your dressing sense, ask for permission before taking photographs, and keep quiet in meditation zones. Always follow the directions of the temple authority and tour guides during the pilgrimage.
The best time to undertake the tour is between October and March. This is because these months are comparatively cooler, allowing you to explore holy places without being uncomfortable. Buddha Purnima, Dev Deepawali, and winters witness the maximum number of tourists, so it is always a good idea to book your holiday in advance and secure your hotel's availability.

Travel together to Ayodhya and Varanasi — special rates, priority darshan & dedicated support for groups of 10 or more pilgrims.

Founder & Pilgrimage Travel Expert
Uttar Pradesh, India
Amit Kumar Deshwal was born in Uttar Pradesh, and the pilgrimage circuit he now plans for a living is the one he grew up around. What began as showing visitors the temples he already knew has become a full travel operation — but the working knowledge underneath it is still first-hand.
More than 15,000 guests have travelled with him. Families, elderly parents, first-time visitors and large temple groups — enough of them, over enough years, that very little surprises him now. He knows which darshan queue is worth joining at seven in the morning, which one is not, and what to do when a temple changes its timings on a festival day without telling anyone.
His ground is Ayodhya and Varanasi, extending west into the Braj circuit of Mathura, Vrindavan and Agra. That range matters more than it sounds: it is the difference between handing a guest an itinerary and being able to say, from having stood there, how long the walk actually takes.
The reason Ayodhya Varanasi Guides exists is a frustration he heard from guests over and over — a different agent for the cab, another for the hotel, a third for the guide, and nobody accountable when a darshan slot fell through. His answer was to put all of it in one place, under one number, with the pricing written down before anyone travels.
Every itinerary on this site is planned or reviewed by Amit and his team, and corrected whenever conditions on the ground change.
