The Taj Mahal, the pinnacle of Mughal architecture, was created in memory of his queen Arjumand Bano Begum, dubbed ‘Mumtaz Mahal,’ by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (1628-1658), grandson of Akbar the Great. Mumtaz Mahal was the niece of Empress Nur Jahan and the granddaughter of Emperor Jehangir’s wazir, Mirza Ghiyas Beg I’timad-ud-Daulah.

Meet at the railway station in the morning and transfer to the hotel (We may get rooms after 12:00 hrs, but would try to get few rooms at least to wash & change) Later, go to SARNATH (where Buddha delivered his first sermon). Then it’s over to Varanasi for a city tour and some shopping. Overnight stay at a hotel.

Sarnath has the unique distinction of hosting Lord Buddha’s first discourse after gaining enlightenment 2500 years ago. It is around 10 kilometres from Varanasi and contains a variety of Buddhist landmarks, including the famed Dhamekh Stupa, the seat of the holy ‘Buddha.’ The remnants of Dharmarajika Stupa and Mulagandha Kuti Temple, where Lord Buddha is supposed to have rested and pondered while at Sarnath, are well worth a visit. The Ashoka Pillar, which was constructed by Emperor Ashoka, is a must-see in Sarnath. The Lion Capital atop this pillar is now India’s National Emblem, and it is notable for its superb workmanship and carvings.

Kushinagar, located 55 kilometres from Gorakhpur, is the site where the Lord Buddha spoke his final words “Now, comrades, I admonish you, declaring that deterioration is inherent in all constituent things! Work out your salvation with zeal! “and flew to the heavens. The Mahaparinirvana temple, a shrine devoted to the event, bears witness to the bereaved demise. Rambhar Stupa, one of Kushinagar’s many Stupas, deserves your attention since it is said to be the location where Lord Buddha was cremated.

After breakfast, visit Mahaparinirvana Temple (where Buddha breathed his final breath) and Rambhar Stupa (Lord Buddha’s cremation place), as well as Japan Temple.

We make our way down to Bhagirathi, one of the Gange’s tributaries. After that, we travel the 80 kilometres to Gangotri, a popular pilgrimage site.

We go through a scenic path that is packed with porters, mules, pilgrims, and mobile traders. The glacier valley-of-flowers-trek.html widens from Raj Ghat, and we soon reach the Bhagirathi range, which peaks beyond 6500m.

The panorama from Gaumukh, the Ganges’ source, is breathtaking, with praying pilgrims and half-naked sadhus meditating along the banks of the torrent stream that surges out of the glacier. The route winds through Gangotri moraines before arriving to Tapovan and its beautiful meadows, which are crisscrossed with streams and dotted with flowers. The panoramic view from here of Shivling (6540m), Meru (6660m), and the Bhagirathi massifs (above 6500m) is breathtaking. It is hardly unexpected that sadhus picked this location to meditate throughout the summer.

We peacefully appreciate the pleasures of this wonderful location in the morning. In the afternoon, we make our way to Bhojbasa.

In the afternoon, we visit the Gangotri temples.
