Varanasi Activities

The holiest city in Hinduism, and one of the most ancient metropolises in the world, Varanasi, or Benares, is synonymous with the Ganges which flows through it, passing the ghats, or riverside steps on the way. The best ways to experience Varanasi are on foot, as well as by boat and we suggest 2 boat trips on the river- dawn and dusk- to get a fuller understanding of the role the sacred river plays in the life of the city and the pilgrimage of the millions who come here every year.
