Varanasi – A City of Light
No matter what people call it Varanasi, Kashi, and Banaras, it is said to be one of the oldest inhabited and most exciting cities in the world, which has been standing the test of time for over 5, ooo years. One of the most ancient cities for learning and was a place where hundreds of enlightened beings lived at a time. Varanasi was the hub of art, spirituality, culture, and music.
In the words of 19th-century author and traveler Mark Twain - Banaras is “older than history, older than tradition and older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together."
The holy city lies in the northern belt of India. Every year 30 million pilgrims make their way to Varanasi.
After taking little rest, proceed for the Evening Ganges Prayer
The prayer of 45 minutes is a real spectacle. This is a religious ritual worshiping Ganga Maiya (Holy Mother Ganga). The sound of hand-pumped harmonium, tabla, and bells with the fragrance of incense makes this environment so amazing. The magical content of prayer cannot be easily explained, but it can be easily experienced.
Return to your hotel. Overnight stay in Varanasi.
Today we wake up early to experience a boat ride at sunrise - one of the experiences not to be missed. It gives a glimpse of morning life along the Ghats and stunning views sun rising from the eastern horizon. Also visit Manikarnika Ghat: The ancient Hindu cremation place.
Return to your hotel for a hot and refreshing breakfast. After a leisurely breakfast, enjoy an Excursion to Sarnath.
Sarnath is the most popular excursion from Varanasi, located 13 km northeast of Varanasi. Another sacred place where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon is a deer park. Dhamek Stupa, Founded by King Ashoka in 249 BC, is one of the most prominent Buddhist structures in India. The Dhamek stupa is said to be of great importance as Buddha gave his first sermon, after attaining enlightenment, to his disciples that revealed his Eightfold paths. There are temples representing different countries like Japan, China, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
Also, explore Archeological Museum
The buildings form half of a monastery in the plan. There are five galleries and two verandas. The antiquities in the museum are datable 3rd century BC to the 12th century AD.
The evening will be at your leisure.
Overnight stay in Varanasi.
After breakfast drive to Bodhgaya. Upon arrival check-in at your hotel to relax. This tiny town of Bodhgaya is where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment about 2600 years back. It is an important pilgrimage spot for Buddhists and other people from around the world, regardless of their religion.
The evening will be at your leisure.
