Varanasi Private Tours |
|
Welcome to the ancient Indian city of Varanasi, the Hindu spiritual capital. Varanasi is traditional India at its most colourful and chaotic; take a private Varanasi tour with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide to learn about the history, culture and customs of the millions of pilgrims who flood this city.
At Varanasi's heart flows the River Ganges, providing Hindus with a place to bathe, perform puja (prayers) and to cremate their dead. Your guide will make sure you take a boat ride along the Ganges in the mellow dawn light to witness the amazing rituals of life and death that play out every day along the river's many ghats. Just outside of the city, you can visit the legendary Buddhist village of Sarnath, with its monasteries and ancient Stupas. Return to the city for the evening ganga aarti ceremony, full of lantern light and traditional music.
Your guide is happy to customize a private Varanasi tour that reflects your unique interests in this holiest of cities. |
