NRI Tours are Prime Value Tours’ private journeys for Indians living abroad, and for PIO and OCI families who want to see India properly, not in a rush. Choose a Golden Triangle route, add Ayodhya, Haridwar or Varanasi, and we plan the pace, food, rooms and darshan around your family.
Last reviewed November 2026 · Planned by the Prime Value Tours team in Varanasi
NRI tours are private, family-paced journeys in India for non-resident Indians and the wider diaspora. A good one handles what generic packages skip: arrival after a 15-hour flight, three generations travelling together, vegetarian or Jain food, temple rules, and a route that fits school or work leave.
Prime Value Tours, a government-approved operator based in Varanasi since 1999, plans every NRI tour as a private trip with its own vehicle, licensed guides and a written quote within 24 hours.

Our team is on the ground in Varanasi, so the Uttar Pradesh legs of your trip, Ayodhya, Varanasi and Sarnath, are run by people who live there.
Your vehicle, your guide, your dates. No shared coaches and no fixed departures, so you can plan around a wedding, a festival or school holidays.
We set the day around the slowest, youngest or most jet-lagged person in the car. That usually means one major sight in the morning, a long break, and a lighter evening.
Vegetarian restaurants, Jain and sattvic options, and mild-spice choices for children are arranged in advance, not worked out at the table.
Ram Mandir passes, aarti timings and temple dress rules change. We check them before your date and brief you the evening before.
Message us on WhatsApp from wherever you are. You speak to the Varanasi team directly, and your quote arrives in writing within 24 hours.

The express route. Two long driving days; best for travellers who have seen Delhi before.
The NRI Golden Triangle & Ayodhya tour or the family tour. The sweet spot for a first visit.
The spiritual circuit, adding Haridwar, Rishikesh and Varanasi.
We suggest one city pair, such as Delhi and Agra, or Varanasi and Ayodhya by air. Message us and we will shape it.
Fewer hotel changes, lifts or ground-floor rooms, an unhurried Ayodhya day, and a driver who stops when asked.
Short driving legs, a pool between big sights and mild food. Bring your own child car seat; see our family tour.
A tighter pace is fine. Add sunrise at the Taj and an early Ganga Aarti.
Tell us your family’s district. We can add a day to reach a village, temple or kuldevi shrine and plan the buffer time it needs.
The Ardh Kumbh Mela is scheduled in Haridwar from 14 January 2027 (Makar Sankranti) to 20 April 2027 (Chaitra Purnima), with ten major bathing dates announced by the mela administration. Hotels fill early, and traffic restrictions are likely around bathing days. If you want the Kumbh atmosphere, book early; if you want a calm Haridwar, we plan around the bathing dates. See our 13-day circuit.
Dates, number of travellers, ages, passports (OCI, foreign or Indian), food needs and anything non-negotiable, such as a particular temple.
Within 24 hours you receive a day-by-day itinerary and quote. Prices are on request because they depend on dates, group size and hotels.
Swap a city, lengthen Ayodhya, add Varanasi. We re-cut the route until your whole family agrees.
Pay by bank transfer or an online payment link. We share driver and guide details before you fly and stay on WhatsApp throughout.
NRIs (Indian passport holders living abroad), PIOs and OCI cardholders, and their families. They also suit any traveller of Indian heritage who wants a family-paced private trip.
Indian passport holders do not need a visa. OCI cardholders travel on their OCI card with their foreign passport. A foreign-passport holder of Indian origin without OCI usually needs an Indian e-Visa, applied for on the official portal (indianvisaonline.gov.in) well before travel. Rules change, so confirm on the official site.
Private. Each trip has its own vehicle, driver and licensed guide, and the dates are yours.
Price depends on dates, number of travellers, hotel category and domestic flights, so we quote on request. Send your details on WhatsApp and you receive a written quote within 24 hours.
Yes. We plan restaurants in advance for vegetarian, Jain and sattvic meals, and mild-spice food for children. Tell us any allergies at the start.
October to March is the most comfortable for the Golden Triangle, Ayodhya and Varanasi. December and January can bring fog that delays flights and drives, so leave buffer time. May to July is very hot, and July to September is monsoon.
Often yes. Share the district and nearest city, and we will check road access and add a buffer day. Village visits depend on local conditions, so we confirm feasibility before quoting.
Send your dates and a rough headcount. You will get a written plan within 24 hours.
