Accepted Answer

DAY 1: You shall be welcomed by a representative at the Delhi international airport, who will escort you to your hotel. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.
DAY 2: Explore India's capital city of New Delhi, where the ancient and modern blend seamlessly together. The magnificent Red Fort is the largest historical structure and a fine example of Mughal architecture. The highly decorative Jama Masjid is the largest mosque in India and is considered to be the finest mosque constructed during the Mughal Empire. Raj Ghat holds a historical and national significance, as it is the memorial site of the freedom fighter - Mahatma Gandhi. Drive past the famous diplomat and colonial buildings including India Gate, the official residence of the President of India and the parliament house. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Qutub Minar is a brick minaret, built in 12th century by Mughal rulers.  Visit the colorful bazaars in evening.
DAY 3: Your spiritual journey will begin today with your arrival in World's 'Yoga capital' - Rishikesh.  
DAY 4: Start your day with a peaceful yoga and meditation session. Visit the religious temples, ashram and pass through the impressive Ram Jhula & Lakshman Jhula, a suspension bridge above the Ganges built during the British regime. The highlight of this spiritual journey itinerary is the evening sunset Aarti that are performed at the banks of the holy river Ganges.  
DAY 5: After a soulful Yoga & meditation session, drive to the next destination - Haridwar, which is just a few kilometers away from Rishikesh. Haridwar is considered as the Gateway of the Gods by Hindus and is a significant pilgrimage destination in India. This city is dotted with imposing ancient & modern temples and pilgrims come to Haridwar only to bathe in the holy waters of the river Ganges at the Har-Ki-Pauri Ghat.  Their spiritual journey is fulfilled through their religious belief of attainment of salvation or 'Moksha'.
DAY 6: Leave Haridwar and drive to Dehradun airport to return to the capital city of Delhi.  DAY 7: Board a flight to see one of the World’s oldest cities - Varanasi which is perched on the banks of the River Ganges. Participate in evening prayers (Aarti) on the ghats of the holy River Ganges. 
DAY 8: Enjoy an early morning boat ride on the River Ganges. The sunrise in Varanasi is a must-experience and highlight of this spiritual journey. Drive through one of the largest universities in Asia - Banaras Hindu University, housing the famous Vishwanath temple which has  a very special and unique significance in the spiritual journey and history of India. Visit the holy Buddhist pilgrim site - Sarnath, which is yet another very crucial part of a spiritual journey in India. Here Buddha preached his first sermon to his five disciples.  
DAY 9: Participate in an early morning yoga & meditation session before returning to Delhi by flight. 
DAY 10: As your spiritual journey in India comes to an end today, you will feel rejuvenated and will return home with a positive spirit.
