Varanasi & Spiritual India
The oldest living city.
Overview
About this package
Three days along the ghats of the Ganga in Varanasi — a sunrise boat ride past bathers and cremation ghats, a walk through the narrow lanes to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, and the evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat with its synchronised flame-and-bell ceremony. Raw, ancient, and unlike anywhere else in India.
