🚩 Ayodhya & Varanasi
Written & verified by Amit Kumar Deshwal · Founder & Pilgrimage Travel Expert
Last updated 21 August 2026
Kashi Vishwanath Temple darshan is best planned in the early morning, ideally around 5:00–8:00 AM, when queues are generally more manageable. Temple schedules can vary, and midday closures or restricted entry periods may apply, so we plan visits around the current darshan timings.
Phones, cameras and large bags are generally not permitted inside major temples such as Kashi Vishwanath and Kaal Bhairav Temple; lockers or designated storage facilities may be used where available. Carry a valid photo ID, especially where identification is required for a booking or special darshan arrangement.
Wear modest, comfortable clothing suitable for temple visits, and carry easy-to-remove footwear because shoes must be removed before entering temples and some sacred areas. Varanasi weather varies by season, so carry light cotton clothes in summer, a light jacket in winter, and comfortable rain protection during the monsoon.
The tour involves walking through Varanasi's old-city lanes, ghats and temple areas, with some steps at places such as the riverfront ghats. For senior citizens, we arrange comfortable private transport, a relaxed sightseeing pace and assistance wherever practical.
Basic temple darshan and visits to many public ghats are generally free, while boat rides, special darshan, donations, entry tickets and optional services may cost extra. We confirm the complete itinerary, inclusions and final price in writing before the trip, with no advance payment required.

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.

Package Overview
Most German, Austrian and Swiss travellers I guide in Varanasi arrive prepared for Kashi Vishwanath, the ghats and the Ganga Aarti, but they often underestimate how difficult the old city can be to understand on their own. The lanes are narrow, traffic changes quickly, and religious rituals can seem confusing without context. I keep the itinerary practical, with time to ask questions and understand what you are seeing.
At Ayodhya Varanasi Guide, this Varanasi Tour Package for German, Austrian and Swiss Travellers is planned over four days and three nights. The route covers Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Kal Bhairav Temple and Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, along with an early morning Ganga boat ride through the historic ghats. In the evening, you attend the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, where the guide explains the ritual and local customs in German.
One day is reserved for Sarnath, including Dhamek Stupa, the Sarnath Archaeological Site and Mulagandha Kuti Vihara. I keep Sarnath separate from the main temple circuit because the Buddhist history is easier to understand without rushing between different parts of the region. The midday period is kept lighter for lunch and rest, particularly during warmer months.
German-speaking guide availability is limited, especially between October and March. I recommend sharing your dates early so availability can be checked before the booking is confirmed. If a German-speaking guide cannot be secured for your dates, Ayodhya Varanasi Guide will inform you before confirmation rather than replacing the guide without your approval.

Travel Plan
Arrive at Varanasi Airport or railway station and meet the driver for a private transfer to the hotel. Complete check-in and take some time to rest after the journey.
Start early with breakfast and proceed for the sacred darshan of Kashi Vishwanath Temple. Morning is preferred for a peaceful pilgrimage experience and to avoid the afternoon closure period observed at several temples.
Wake up early for a traditional sunrise experience on the Ganges. Proceed to the ghat for a boat ride before breakfast, when the riverfront is especially peaceful.
After breakfast, complete the final temple visit and prepare for departure from Varanasi. Check out from the hotel according to the scheduled departure time.
