Varanasi Ayodhya Nepal Tour Package

Two tirth cities in India and every major Nepal shrine, ending at Janakpur for the Jaynagar return.

Overview

Varanasi, Ayodhya and Nepal yatra: overview

Quick answer

The Varanasi Ayodhya Nepal tour package is an 11 nights / 12 days trip covering Varanasi, Ayodhya, Lumbini, Pokhara, Jomsom, Muktinath, Kathmandu, Janakpur, starting from Varanasi / Jaynagar (rail link). Travellers who fly can start in Kathmandu. It suits large pilgrim groups. The best time for Varanasi Ayodhya Nepal is October–November, February–April. The cost is quoted in writing for your dates.

This 11 nights / 12 days yatra joins the two great cities of the Ram and Shiva traditions in India — Kashi and Ayodhya — with Nepal's pilgrimage circuit. It begins in Varanasi, continues to Ayodhya, crosses at Sonauli, and covers Lumbini, Pokhara, Muktinath, Kathmandu and Janakpur before leaving Nepal at Jaynagar.

Ending at Janakpur after starting in Ayodhya follows the Ram–Sita story from one city to the other. Groups can split at Pokhara: those who cannot manage the altitude stay by the lake while the rest fly to Jomsom.

As a Kashi Ayodhya Nepal yatra it follows the Ram Janaki yatra route from Ayodhya to Janakpur, with Muktinath darshan on the way.

Tour highlights

  • Ganga aarti and Kashi Vishwanath
  • Ram Lalla darshan in Ayodhya
  • Muktinath and Pashupatinath
  • Janaki Mandir before exiting at Jaynagar

Day-wise itinerary

Varanasi Ayodhya Nepal yatra itinerary, day by day

1

Day 1 – Varanasi Arrival

Dedicate the day to Varanasi, arranging the city's religious and heritage stops in a practical sequence.The programme can include the principal ghats and temple areas covered by the package, with enough time left for the evening riverfront experience where scheduled.Return to the Varanasi hotel after completing the local circuit.
2

Day 2 – Varanasi

Use the full day for Varanasi, keeping the city's temple, ghat and heritage visits together before the circuit moves onward to Ayodhya.Start early for the major spiritual stops and leave enough buffer for old-city traffic and walking sections rather than fixing every visit to a tight clock.Return to the Varanasi stay after the local circuit and prepare for the next day's road transfer.
3

Day 3 – Varanasi → Ayodhya

After breakfast, leave Varanasi for Ayodhya and complete the intercity road transfer before beginning the Ayodhya portion of the journey.Sightseeing should be planned around the actual arrival time so the major religious stops are not rushed.Check in at the confirmed Ayodhya stay and continue the circuit from here.
4

Day 4 – Ayodhya → Lumbini

Start from Varanasi Arrival using the confirmed Nepal entry route and continue towards Lumbini in the sequence shown in the package.Keep the airport or land-border formalities separate from the main sightseeing so the arrival day has a realistic travel window.Carry the accepted original travel document for the selected mode of entry and complete check-in before adding any local activity.
5

Day 5 – Lumbini → Pokhara

Use the day to shift from the Lumbini pilgrimage sector to Pokhara, with hotel arrival taking priority over extra detours.Use practical meal breaks and retain buffer for highway traffic rather than promising a fixed check-in hour.Once in Pokhara, rest and leave the city circuit for the next day.
6

Day 6 – Pokhara Sightseeing

Use a full Pokhara day for the lake-side and city attractions included in the package, keeping the route compact rather than crossing the city repeatedly.Weather can change mountain visibility quickly, so viewpoint timing should stay flexible while the city stops remain the dependable core.Keep the later hours flexible so the next morning’s departure does not feel rushed.
7

Day 7 – Pokhara → Jomsom

Use this day mainly to reach Jomsom or the booked mountain base from Pokhara, keeping the transfer separate from the following Muktinath visit.Plan the schedule around the confirmed transport window rather than assuming road and flight options are interchangeable at short notice.After reaching the base, keep the evening light and prepare for the Muktinath sector.
8

Day 8 – Jomsom → Muktinath → Pokhara

Complete the Muktinath pilgrimage from the Jomsom or mountain-base side and keep the temple visit as the priority before beginning the return sector.Do not tie the return to an unrealistically fixed hour because wind, weather and road conditions can affect this sector.Finish at the Pokhara or intermediate halt written in the package and rest before the next intercity journey.
9

Day 9 – Pokhara → Manakamana → Kathmandu

Move from Pokhara towards Kathmandu and keep Manakamana within the transfer rather than treating the day as a separate multi-stop sightseeing circuit.Cable-car queues and road traffic can extend the day, so avoid adding unrelated detours between the two cities.Use the evening in Kathmandu only if the road transfer finishes comfortably.
10

Day 10 – Kathmandu Sightseeing

Use a full Kathmandu day for the temples and heritage sites listed in the package, grouping nearby locations around traffic and opening hours.If a major temple or heritage zone is especially busy, shift the sequence rather than dropping the entire local circuit.Keep the evening flexible for rest, shopping or a short nearby walk once the core visits are complete.
11

Day 11 – Kathmandu → Janakpur

Use the day to connect Kathmandu with Janakpur, allowing enough road time before any local temple visit after arrival.Keep the first Janakpur activity close to the hotel if the drive runs long.Finish at the Janakpur stay and keep the evening relaxed after the road journey.
12

Day 12 – Janakpur → Jaynagar

Begin the return sector from Janakpur towards Jaynagar using the border/road arrangement confirmed for the package.Allow time for the land-border formalities and keep the onward train or road connection suitably buffered.The package ends at the confirmed drop point rather than adding new sightseeing to the return day.
