Walking tour of the old area of ​​Varanasi

Guide in Varanasi: walking tour of the old area.

We will visit everything from a traditional gym or Akhara , which follows very ancient training practices, to the vegetable market in the old city, or we will have a cup of masala tea while the applications of aromatherapy and essential oils are explained to us .

We will stop at some important temples in the city, such as the Golden Temple , the most important for Hindus, and the Nepali temple , with its carvings depicting scenes from the Kamasutra.

The Temple of Hanuman , the monkey god, and other fascinating temples in Varanasi. We’ll also stroll along the two ghats where Hindu cremations take place ( Manikarnika Ghat and Raja Harishchandra Ghat ), as well as Kedar Ghat , the second most important for pilgrims to take their ritual baths. We’ll also visit some of the 270 workshops where Varanasi’s famous silk fabrics , among the finest in all of India, are woven on handlooms following Mughal designs. And, of course, if you’d like to enjoy a delicious lassi served in a clay cup, we’ll stop at one of the best spots in the city.
