Varanasi Walk

Overview

If you really want to get a sense of real Varanasi the only possible way is to explore the river side and the area behind the Ganga Ghats which is set up in the form of narrow and puzzled alleys. Real Varanasi lives inside the alleys which looks different than any other place found on our planet. Narrow and puzzling alleys, beautiful temples and shrines, monasteries, old buildings, cultural and religious diversity, all the major old markets, real Varanasi-food, people, cows, and bulls…all is found inside the alleys which are not possible to visit by any vehicle.

Our guide will pick you up from your hotel located in Varanasi and drive near Harishchandra Ghat [Cremation Ghat], from where the walking tour will start. Experience Varanasi’s ‘Life & Death’ together. Walk up to Kadedar Ghat here you will see a number of Hindus taking their holy bath, praying and doing rituals. From Kedar Ghat stepped into the narrow lanes of Varanasi which is with full of life, residence, business, temples, vegetable vendors, cows & bulls. Where ever you will see most of the vendors selling flowers, it means that part has some important temple. Since pilgrims come from all parts of India so small neighborhoods exist composed of each different language and region of India. The most notable change was as you transitioned between the narrow lanes.
Get down to the riverside near Ahilyabai Ghat and walk to Dasaswmedh Ghat. Take some rest there sitting on the steps and experience ‘People watching’.
After taking small rest, walk along the river up to Manikarnika Ghat [Main Cremation Place].
After Manikarnika Ghat, walk back to the parking nearby area where the driver will meet you and drive back to Hotel.
