Varanasi, Lucknow & Khajuraho holiday packages + Temples + Ganges River Cruise
Our wide range of Varanasi, Lucknow and Khajuraho holiday packages will introduce you to some of the best experiences and temples of traditional India.
The sacred city of Varanasi on the River Ganges is the spiritual heart of India and each evening at sunset offerings are made to the Hindu gods, during the much-watched Pooja ceremony. Seeing hundreds of candles floating down the river is spellbinding. An early morning boat ride on the river is another must-do, with incredible photo opportunities as the faithful come down to the ghats to bathe.
Also don’t miss the remains of the monastery at Sarnath, which is an important pilgrimage site for another great faith, as this is where the Buddha gave his first sermon.
Lucknow is a lovely cultural city that is the capital of the state of Uttar Pradesh. It is know for its beautiful gardens, architecture, music, poetry and fine cuisine.
You should also visit Khajuraho to see its astonishing 10th century erotic Kama Sutra temples. These ancient hand-carved temples were built between 950 and 1050 AD, with murals that depict the life and times of the Chandela Rajputs. The western group of temples contain the largest and loveliest temples, with the Kandariya Mahadev temple dedicated to Shiva, with its elaborate spire and bands of beautiful carvings, being the most perfect. It shares a high terrace with the older and simpler Devi Jagadamba temple.
Another option is an unforgettable Ganges river cruise. The mighty Ganges River runs all the way from the Himalayas, and through the sacred city of Varanasi, before merging with the Brahmaputra River and flowing on to Calcutta and the Sundarbans Delta in the Bay of Bengal.
Combine your ideas with our expertise and let us help you create a holiday of a lifetime. We offer a wide range of options at different price points, all of which can be tailor made to your needs.
We have been arranging Varanasi & Khajuraho holiday packages, temples & Ganges river cruise for over 20 years.
