Holidays to Varanasi

Immerse yourself in the vibrant and spiritual heart of India with our well-planned holidays to Varanasi. Situated on the banks of the sacred Ganges, Varanasi is a city teeming with history, culture and spiritual significance. Witness the spectacular evening 'Aarti' ceremony at the Dashashwamedh Ghat, a truly moving experience that draws visitors from around the globe. Follow the smell of freshly made sweets through the narrow lanes of the city and come across the popular Kashi Vishwanath Temple, revered and visited by millions.

Don't forget to explore the colourful local markets for some handwoven Banarasi silk sarees, a perfect memento of your holiday. Savour the rich flavours of the local cuisine, that are as diverse and vibrant as the city itself. A boat ride on the Ganges at sunrise, watching the ghats come alive with ritualistic activities, is an absolute must-do. A visit to Sarnath, where Buddha first taught the Dharma, is just a short drive away, rounding off your Varanasi holiday experience in a profound way. Truly, there's no better way to capture the spirit of India than with our carefully designed holidays to Varanasi.
