Description
Our 4 day Varanasi tour package the perfect add-on to your India holiday. Varanasi is one of the holiest and oldest civilisations in the universe. Pilgrims save their whole lives to travel to Varanasi to cremate their relatives bodies, wash away their sins or to simply visit. A trip to Varanasi is truly a once in a lifetime experience that you will definitely never forget.
Immerse yourself in rich Indian culture as you embark on a traditional sunrise boat ride along the ghats. View locals bathing and burning ceremonies taking place. These burning rituals occur every day in this magical city, yet quite an eye-opening experience that allows us to appreciate the Hindu culture. Your local Indian boat driver will explain the interesting history and importance of the Ganges. You will also experience a tour of the ‘hidden bazaars’ of Varanasi and view the evening Aarathi ceremony from your boat on the Ganges.
