Varanasi & the Ganga
Four nights on the oldest street in India, dawn boats, the evening aarti from the water, Sarnath, and enough time between them to let the city work on you.
Darshan slots arranged in advance, the queue managed for you, a kitchen that understands a vrat, and a Zubilant escort who has walked the route before.
A pilgrimage is not made easier by describing it beautifully. It is made easier by darshan slots arranged in advance, wheelchairs organised, and a kitchen that understands a vrat. Start with who is going and how far they can climb. Those two answers decide most of it. Every one has run before.

Six nights down the great temple road of the deep south, Madurai's Meenakshi at night, Chettinad's mansions and cuisine, Rameswaram's corridors, and land's end at Kanyakumari.

Five gentle nights through Jagannath darshan at Puri, the Sun Temple at Konark, Chilika's dolphins and the artist village of Raghurajpur, Odisha done properly, without the crowds it never gets anyway.

Five nights along the Ram path, darshan at Ayodhya's new mandir, the Sangam at Prayagraj and the forest quiet of Chitrakoot, paced for elders and managed so the queues never manage you.

Six nights through Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, ending with the climb to Tiger's Nest, the Himalayan kingdom Indians can enter without a visa, and mostly don't.
