About This Varanasi Itinerary
Varanasi, the spiritual capital of India, is an experience that transcends ordinary tourism. Our 2-day itinerary captures the essence of Kashi — from the mystical sunrise boat ride on the Ganges to the powerful Ganga Aarti ceremony, from the ancient temples to the Buddhist site of Sarnath where Lord Buddha first taught.
Day 1 immerses you in the spiritual heart of Varanasi — the ghats, temples, and the unforgettable evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. Day 2 takes you to Sarnath, one of Buddhism's holiest sites, and then to the cultural gems of BHU and the historic Ramnagar Fort.
A private cab in Varanasi is essential because the city's old quarters have narrow lanes where only walking is possible. Your driver will drop you at the closest access point to each ghat and wait while you explore on foot. For the Sarnath excursion (10 km from the city), the cab provides comfortable transport.
