Delhi to Varanasi Ayodhya Prayagraj Gaya by Maharaja Tempo Traveller
12 to 17 passengers · air-conditioned · driver and fuel included
The Delhi to Varanasi-Ayodhya-Prayagraj-Gaya circuit is the ultimate Hindu pilgrimage road trip by tempo traveller, traversing approximately 1,600 km of India's spiritual heartland. Depart Delhi on the Yamuna Expressway and Agra-Lucknow Expressway, reaching Varanasi in 12-14 hours (best done as an overnight drive). Varanasi's Dashashwamedh Ghat Ganga Aarti, sunrise boat ride past 84 ghats, Kashi Vishwanath Temple, and Sarnath (where Buddha delivered his first sermon) demand at least 2-3 days. Drive 270 km to Gaya in Bihar, home to the Vishnupad Temple and the Bodh Gaya Mahabodhi Temple (UNESCO site) where Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. Return 250 km to Prayagraj (Allahabad) for the sacred Triveni Sangam, the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and mythical Saraswati. Anand Bhawan, the Nehru family home, is a historical bonus. Finally, drive 170 km to Ayodhya for the newly inaugurated Ram Mandir, Hanuman Garhi, and Saryu River aarti. For food, Varanasi's Kachori Gali near Dashashwamedh, Prayagraj's Netram ki lassi, and Ayodhya's sattvic prasad thalis are highlights. The tempo traveller's luggage capacity is essential for this multi-city pilgrimage.
In short
A maharaja tempo traveller from Delhi to Varanasi Ayodhya Prayagraj Gaya costs ₹26 to ₹30 per kilometre depending on the seater, over roughly 900 km (one way to farthest point, ~1600 km circuit) and about 7-10 days circuit (30-35 hours driving total) of driving. Fuel and an experienced driver are included; tolls, parking and state permits are billed at actuals. A one-way drop is charged at the same per-km rate as a round trip, because the vehicle still returns to base empty afterwards.
