If you have all the images available from Cisco you can follow this guide for lab setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PkPXb32gaw&list=PL0Hh9znbkXrYWq0SbGNNZ41XzAfL7WIhv. The guide is a little old, but the only difference should be if you wish to deploy cat8k cEdges(they are taking over for the vEdge).

Let me know if you run into issues and I'll try to help!

Thanks for your reply

Sorry @manish5414, I read your post a little too fast. You will unfortunately need an active service-contract for the various components to be able to download the images.

There are some hosted labs you can use. The free ones I know of are dCloud and DevNet sandboxes. The paid providers that i know of(and can recommend)  are INE, KBITS and Orhan Ergun. If you are qualified to book the CCIE EI lab you can also reserve practice labs, but these are quite expensive.
