Varanasi: Heritage & Spiritual Walk of Old City｜India

Set off on a guided walk and become one with the quintessential holy mess that embraces time-honoured temples, puzzling alleys, vibrant bazaars, pilgrims, saffron rubbed holy men and cows alike.

Stroll along the stretch of river ghats (sets of steps leading down to the river), which define the life and identity of Varanasi. Besides chai sellers, boatmen, masseurs, and street barbers, the divine riverfront is home to fortune tellers, priests, yoga practitioners, wrestlers, and sketch artists. In the morning, you may run into a laughter club!
The birthplace of countless saints, philosophers, poets, and artists, the city of lights boasts a long history and rich tradition of academic, artistic, and spiritual excellence.
An ode to the timeless legacy of the mighty Ganges, here’s a settlement where life and death are equally celebrated!
Afterward, we will go towards the Kashi Vishwanath corridor and witness Varanasi’s principal cremation site – the Manikarnika Ghat!
Nearly 300 dead bodies are cremated at this spot and the sacred fire is alive for the last 3000 years.
Varanasi is also known as “Mini-India”, it is the only place on earth that has been the origin of many “Philosophical thoughts and ISM” and a place where they flourish in the different directions of the world. Many people think that it’s known as the Hindu Pilgrimage center but it is equally important to other religious groups too; may it is Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Islam, or Christianity.

This is the only city where people arrived from different parts of India and lived here for incalculable years and generations. They submerged into the culture here and yet continued their hereditarily and state customs and culture.

Our walking trips are so apt for Solo travelers; photographers; writers and those who are comfortable leaving their comfort zone. There are plenty of photography opportunities and feel the essence of Varanasi as it is.

Charge your Mobile Phone; Camera Battery if you really do not want to regret it later. And most importantly take a good sleep before commencing this trip; which means make sure you are physically and mentally recharged too.
