Food exploration is an important part of this trip. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know well in advance.

While we will try to keep the Varanasi group trip as culturally inclined and secular as possible, please remember Varanasi & Ayodhya are known for their temples. Every temple has a story. If you are someone who can enjoy temples from a cultural perspective, then this trip is for you. This is not a pilgrimage trip.

Subhashini Subramani

Unlike my solo trip, here i just sat back , relaxed and enjoyed the six days thorughly thanks to the F5 team. Their organisation skills are commendable. The entire trip be it the stay, the food both at the hotels and outside, the travel vehicle, the guides and so on, every aspect was well organized. The best part was they were not rigid , they just allowed us to enjoy the tour. It was simply outstanding.

Day 2 : Subah-E- Banaras, Boat Ride.

Walk: 2-4 hrs

Cultural Experience (Ganga Arati)

Monuments

Wake up early for a divine early morning with Subah-E-Banaras and boat tour to see Kashi coming alive in the morning time. Today, you will get to understand the ancient city better along with an early breakfast of traditional Kachori Jalebi. After this, visit one of the most recognised monuments of India, the national emblem - The Ashoka Pillar at Sarnath. Witness Evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. Overnight at Varanasi.

Most of the places in the itinerary are best explored by foot. This tour will require you to walk a lot, say 3-4 kms a day. There are steps everywhere in the Ghats area in Varanasi. If you have issues walking, then this tour may not be for you.

FUN FACT!

Did you know? At Manikarnika Ghat, funeral pyres (the flames representing the cycle of life and death) burn 24/7, 365 days a year, with no interruptions—even during floods or storms.

FUN FACT!

Did you know? The word ‘triveni' translates to triple confluence, while ‘sangam’ refers to the meeting point of the three holy Indian rivers - The Ganges (clear and muddy), the Yamuna (dark green-blue), and the Saraswati (mythical and invisible). Because of the difference in colors, you can actually see the point where the two rivers meet.

Days will be pleasant with a temperature of around 24°C and night temperature going down till 8°C. *Please note that nowadays, climate/ weather is dependent on many factors and unpredictable hence the above information might be subject to change during your actual travel days.

As a solo-female traveller, can I join the group trip to Varanasi and Ayodhya?

Absolutely! We design our women-only group trips to make it convenient, fun, and safe for women travellers. While a solo trip is fun, group travelling is hassle-free and without the mental load of planning and organising. You travel with a group of like-minded women, make new friends, and share experiences for a lifetime. Join our year-end Varanasi 2026 women group trip to experience the joy of travelling with your tribe.

What are the company policies on smoking/drinking?

We encourage responsible drinking. Delays due to hangovers will not be accommodated. Please be considerate to your room mate, if you smoke or drink. We will prefer that you smoke outside or your rooms and never in the vehicle. Alcohol is not very acceptable both in Varanasi & Ayodhya.

How does F5 Escapes promote responsible and sustainable tourism?

When we travel, we visit somebody’s home, be it a city, village or a place of stay. We treat them with utmost respect. We encourage all our guests to leave no trace, only footprints. We recommend carrying one's own steel water bottles. Most places of stay we partner with provide clean drinking water and water is available for refill. Small shift, big impact. We are mindful about our group not littering the destination. We try choosing vendors who make a conscious effort to employ locals, thereby enabling us to give back to the local economy. We encourage local handicrafts and on several trips we visit local artisans. We try to reduce overcrowding by travelling in small groups of maximum 12 people. We support women-led enterprises and seek them out on our travels. We work with local organisations across India involved in conservation, culture preservation and employment generation.
