Kashi Yatra

Varanasi Prayagraj Tour

Varanasi and Allahabad are two of the most important cities in India, both known for their rich cultural and historical significance. A tour of these two cities promises an unforgettable experience of India's heritage, spirituality, and traditions.

Varanasi, also known as Benaras or Kashi, is one of the oldest living cities in the world, famous for its ghats and temples. The city's spiritual significance is best experienced during the Ganga Aarti, a grand spectacle of prayers and rituals offered to the holy river Ganga every evening. A visit to the Kashi Vishwanath temple, one of the twelve jyotirlingas and the Golden Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a must for those seeking spiritual blessings.

Allahabad, or Prayagraj, is known for its Triveni Sangam, the confluence of three holy rivers - Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati. A dip in the holy waters of Triveni Sangam is believed to wash away sins and purify the soul. The city is also home to the Anand Bhawan, the birthplace of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and the Akshayavat Temple, one of the 52 Shaktipeethas.
