QUESTIONS & CLARITY

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time to visit Varanasi?

October to March is ideal — pleasant weather (15–28°C), clear skies, and major festivals including Dev Deepawali (November) and Maha Shivaratri (February/March). Avoid April–June (extreme heat). Monsoon (July–September) has a certain unique beauty with far fewer crowds.

How many days are enough for a meaningful Kashi experience?

Minimum 3 days covers the essential rituals and the Kashi Vishwanath darshan (VNS-01). We recommend 5 days for true spiritual immersion — including Sarnath, ghat walks, private pujas, and reflection time. The 7-day circuit adds Prayagraj and Gaya for an expanded sacred journey.

Can I get VIP Darshan at Kashi Vishwanath Temple?

Yes. VIP Darshan skips the 2–3 hour general queue. It costs an additional ₹500–1,000 per person and must be pre-booked. We handle all VIP pass arrangements for packages that include it (VNS-02 and above). For VNS-01, we can arrange it as an add-on.

Is Varanasi safe for solo female travellers?

Yes, and we take special care. We provide dedicated female guides on request, ensure secure heritage accommodation, arrange private AC transfers, and maintain 24/7 support contact throughout the trip. The old city lanes can be crowded — all our sightseeing walks are guided.

What are the inclusions across all packages?

All packages include: accommodation (category varies by package), daily vegetarian breakfast and dinner (pure Satvik — no onion, garlic, or meat), AC vehicle for all transfers and sightseeing, Ganga boat rides, temple entry tickets, English/Hindi guide, and all applicable taxes. Flights and trains to Varanasi are excluded.

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

30+ days before travel: full refund minus ₹2,000 processing fee. 15–29 days: 50% refund. Less than 15 days: no refund. In cases of temple closures, natural events, or force majeure — full rescheduling or maximum possible refund after actual expense deductions. Travel insurance is strongly recommended.
