Walking Tour of Varanasi

Explore Varanasi on foot, starting with the bustling ghats where pilgrims perform their morning rituals. Wander through the narrow, winding lanes of the old city, passing vibrant market stalls selling wood for funeral pyres and materials for ritual offerings.

Along the way, see the iconic Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the Gyanvapi Mosque from the outside, and gain insight into the city’s rich religious heritage. For those who wish, your guide can take you to a cremation ghat to understand the rituals and significance of the Hindu practice of cremation (photography is not permitted). This walk is a fascinating glimpse into the traditions, devotion, and daily rhythms of life in one of India’s most sacred cities.
