Well Organized Trip
We appreciated our travel designer (Ovijit) was able to customize our trip to add in additional stops and tailor our hotels to what we were looking for.
Tour Overview
Varanasi, the city on the edges of river Ganga has been known by the other three names also which are Benaras, Banaras, and Kashi through its three millennia-long histories.
The history of this place is more exceptional as its great fellows like Athens, Jerusalem and Beijing have passed away from their old path of life. Any trial to summarize the essence of Varanasi is to touch the basics of Indian Spiritual Thought. Much of India’s comprehensive essence stems from here.
It is a place where mosques constructed on holy temples are saved by the law, a place where a religious Shiite Muslim musician named as Bismillah Khan and a devotee of Hindu Goddess Saraswati played shehnai at the entrance of Vishwanath Temple. It is considered as a prominent destination for spiritual hunt.
Tour Highlights:
- Witness the spiritual aura of Kashi Vishwanath Temple and other famous temples in Varanasi
- Experience a mesmerizing Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat in the evening
- Enjoy a serene boat ride on River Ganga during sunrise
- Explore the ancient Sarnath – the land where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon
- Stroll through the vibrant local markets of Varanasi for traditional silk, handicrafts, and souvenirs
