Places to Visit: The ancient city of Varanasi is the spiritual beating heart of India, set on the banks of the river Ganges in Uttar Pradesh. This is the city of life and death, one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and the abode of Lord Shiva (one of the most powerful Hindu Gods). For centuries Varanasi has been attracting intrepid travellers keen to understand the traditions and faith of this complex culture

“Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together” – Mark Twain

Witness the daily ebb and flow of the Hindu pilgrims as they make the holy journey to wash away their sins and cremate their loved ones in the river of salvation, the holy Ganges.

As dusk descends, experience the evening Aarti (holy ritual), when the Hindu priests descend on the holy Ganges for the evening prayers. Watch as the river is set on fire as a million little diyas (prayer lamps) are set adrift on the Ganges, making the journey from one world into the next.

In this city that never sleeps it is imperative to witness at least one golden dawn aboard a simple rowing boat. Watch the honeyed light slowly ink the river, its embankments, and the surrounding lopsided temples. Drift by the ghats where the saffron robed Brahmin priests, men and women are all immersed in the rituals of this sacred city.

Wonder the lively narrow lanes and visit the many colourful temples, guest houses and stalls peddling local arts and crafts, spices and world famous silks.
