Destination
Varanasi
The oldest city in India and one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, Varanasi is the beating heart of the Hindu religion.
A truly magical place to visit, Varanasi is cloaked in a perpetual haze of smoke which adds to the ethereal beauty of the place. Take a boat tour along the sacred River Ganges at sunrise and you’ll discover what this place is really about. Watch as masses of pilgrims’ crowd about the Ghats on the rivers edge in the early morning, to bathe in the murky waters and wash away their sins. Witness the dead burning at the cremation Ghats and the holy men meditating or performing rituals.
On the ground, the atmosphere is thick with energy and the noise, colour and smoke can, at times, be totally overwhelming. Awaken your senses with a stroll through the claustrophobic alleyways, crowded with bazaars; stroll along the Ghats marvelling at the spectacle or visit one of hundreds of temples that can be found throughout the city.
