Tips

If you have extra days, consider extending your stay in Varanasi to explore the ancient Banaras Hindu University campus and take a sunrise boat cruise on the Ganges. Conversely, to shorten the trip, you can combine Lucknow and Ayodhya visits into a single day by focusing on the major temples only, and skip the Samganj stop.
