UP Sacred & Mughal: 6 Nights Agra, Varanasi & Beyond

Uttar Pradesh carries the weight of civilisation — Varanasi's ghats alive since before the Mahabharata, the Taj Mahal's inlaid marble in morning light, Prayagraj where three sacred rivers meet. This 6-night journey through Varanasi, Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Lucknow travels the state's most profound geography.

About This Trip

Uttar Pradesh is home to some of India's most profound sacred geography — the ghats of Varanasi where morning prayers meet the Ganga, the Mughal grandeur of Agra, and the celestial significance of Prayagraj. This 6-night, 7-day itinerary covers Varanasi, Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Lucknow, Agra with 3 Star properties accommodation throughout. Selected meals are included as per the daily itinerary, so every morning starts well regardless of where you are. Transfers between cities and to all sightseeing sites are arranged from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart.

What You Will See

The sightseeing programme covers Dashsahwamedh Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, Sarnath, Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Sankat Mochan Temple, Triveni Sangam, and more along the way. Each site is visited with an expert local guide who knows the stories behind the stones and the best times to visit before the midday heat sets in.

Accommodation

Your hotels are 3 Star properties selected for location and quality. In a heritage city, a well-chosen 3-star property often means a haveli conversion or a business hotel within walking distance of the main sites. In a resort destination, the same category delivers a pool, structured meals, and a helpful front desk that genuinely knows the area. You sleep well; you wake up ready.

Meals

Selected meals are included as per the daily itinerary. On days when additional meals are on your own, your guide will point you toward the right local restaurants — the ones that have been feeding travellers for decades rather than just opening last season. Uttar Pradesh's food culture is one of its underrated gifts: Varanasi's malaiyo and kachori sabzi, Agra's petha, and Prayagraj's chaat.

Book Your Dates

Departures run across multiple dates with flexible pricing. Confirm your travel dates early — Uttar Pradesh packages in this range fill up quickly around festival seasons and school holidays.
