Day 1
Arrival At Varanasi And Witness Most Spectacular Ganga Arti In Evening

• After your arrival at the Varanasi Airport or railway station, you will be greeted by our representatives to be transferred to the hotel. You have time to relax and freshen up until evening time.
• We start the trip with Ganga Arti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. It is a holy fire ritual held at one of the oldest and most sacred ghats in Varanasi. This ceremony has become a popular sight as the spectacular ritual takes place every evening in the city of Varanasi. Once the crowd disperses, we walk down the streets to Godowlia Crossing, a perfect place to enjoy local specialties, such as Lassi or Thandai. Lassi is a blended drink made of dahl, and spices, often with added fruits, while Thandai is perfect for hot weather as rose petals, almonds, watermelons, and other refreshing ingredients are mixed with milk and sugar.
• After a delightful evening exploring the greatest ‘Tirth,’ we return to our hotel for an overnight stay in Varanasi.

Also Durga Temple, which is also called the Monkey temple, that features multi-tiered shikhara and incredible North Indian Nagara architecture design. You also don’t want to miss Tulsi Manas Temple that is blessed with a beautiful view of the city and significantly important historical value in Hinduism.

We’ll also see Birla Temple, which is a modern-day temple located inside Banaras Hindu University (BHU) and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. While in BHU, we’ll also enter Bharat Kala Bhavan, the university museum that displays culturally and historically important knowledge about art and culture of India. Then we’ll go to Bharat Mata temple which is located inside the campus of Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth. It is one of the rare temples where instead of idols, it has the carving of undivided India’s map in marble instead and is dedicated to Bharat Mata, or the “Mother India.”
• After lunch, we’ll visit Sarnath, a small village located about 10 km from the holy city. It is well-known as where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma.
