Why Travellers from Malaysia Love This Trip
Sunrise Boat Ride & Ganga Aarti
The two essential Varanasi experiences: drifting along the ghats at first light, and the spectacular evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, with fire, bells and chanting.
Sarnath
A short drive from the city, Sarnath is where the Buddha gave his first sermon. Its stupas, ruins and museum make a peaceful, important counterpoint to the intensity of the ghats.
Temples, Lanes & Silk
Kashi Vishwanath and the city's great temples, the maze of old lanes, and the famous Banarasi silk weavers, all explored at a relaxed pace with your guide.
