Tips

To extend the trip, consider adding a day in Varanasi to explore the famous Sarnath and Benaras' music scene, or spend a night in Ayodhya's Ganga Yamuna corridor. To shorten the journey, trim the stay in Prayagraj to a single day's evening visit or combine Varanasi and Ayodhya visits in a single day using early sunrise visits and overnight travel to reduce one day's lodging.
