9 Reasons You Should Head To Varanasi For Your Next Trip

7. A boat ride on the Ganga first thing in the morning is beyond magical.

Explore the divine Ganga on a boat ride, especially gorgeous at dawn or dusk. However, beware of fraud as the boatmen and rickshawallahs charge more money than the usual fare.

8. It’s amazing how beautiful authentic Banarsi silk saris are available so easily

Be sure you buy authentic Banarsi saris from Nilambari saris, Taj Estate or HM textiles. You could even find saris at Rs.75,000 that promise to burn a hole in your pocket!

9. The Ganga aarti promises to be one of those events you should attend once in a lifetime

Witness one of the oldest traditions on the banks of the river Ganga at 7 pm sharp. Incense sticks are lit, aarti singers take the stage, and camphor lit diyas light up the entire ghat. The atmosphere at the Dashashwamedh Ghat turns into a live orchestra, where pundits co-ordinate the entire aarti to perfection.
