Varanasi & Spiritual India
The oldest living city.
Overview
About this package
Six days connecting two of India's most profound spiritual centres — the ancient ghats and temples of Varanasi, and the shimmering Golden Temple of Amritsar with its round-the-clock community kitchen. A pilgrimage that spans Hindu and Sikh traditions, with a flight connecting the two rather than a long overland haul.
