About this trip
Varanasi is one of the oldest cities in India, built on the banks of the Ganges, and this 4-day trip from Delhi gives you a close look at what makes it so significant.
For Hindus the river is where sins are washed away, and the city itself is known as a centre of temples and learning. You'll spend your time in the old city, taking in a place that mixes religion, philosophy, culture and craft in a way few other cities do.
It's a short, easy, fully guided trip, so think of it as an introduction to Varanasi rather than an exhaustive tour.
What you'll do
- Walk the ghats along the Ganges
- Watch pilgrims take their ritual dip in the river
- Visit temples through the old city
- See where Hindu philosophy, learning and craft traditions overlap
- Take in the atmosphere of one of India's oldest living cities
- Easy pace and fully guided throughout
- Suits families and groups looking for a short cultural introduction rather than an in-depth exploration
- At 4 days, this is a compact taste of Varanasi rather than a deep dive
