Varanasi by Vande Bharat — Sacred Ganges
Fast, comfortable rail to the oldest living city on earth. Evening aarti on arrival, a sunrise boat on the Ganga and Sarnath.
This itinerary uses a train for one leg; the rest is by private car.
The same route door to door with your own driver — no station transfers, one fixed price, and usually better value for 2 or more travellers.
Your journey, your way
Pick-up from Delhi airport, your hotel or home, and drop-off wherever you need to be at the end.
Every day is a suggestion. Add a city, drop a stop, change hotels or slow down — the price changes honestly with it.
Only you, your people and your own driver. Leave each morning when you are ready.
Send your dates on WhatsApp and Randhir replies with a tailored plan and price, usually the same day.
