- Start with an early morning trip to the holy waters of the Ganges. Experience the peacefulness of a boat ride across the river as you watch the sunrise on the city horizon.
- Next, visit the world-famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the temple is one of the oldest Hindu religious sites and is considered among India's Jyotirlingas.
- Continue to the Sankat Mochan Temple, a place of worship dedicated to Lord Hanuman. The temple is famous for the many monkeys that can be seen on the premises. Devotees visit throughout the year to partake in religious and cultural activities, seeking a resolution to their problems, as "Sankat" means problem and "mocha" refers to resolving these problems, paying tribute to Lord Hanuman.
- Proceed to the Bharat Mata Temple. Unlike traditional Hindu temples, this temple glorifies the manifestation of the nation as Bharat Mata.
- Next, explore Banaras Hindu University (BHU), an internationally acclaimed university in Varanasi. The university played a significant role in the Indian freedom movement and has become one of the country's most prominent learning centres. Don't miss the Bharat Kala Museum, an art and archaeological collection of artifacts, which is a campus highlight and offers an enriching experience.
- Proceed to Sarnath, the home of Lord Buddha, where he preached his first sermon and taught the Four Noble Truths to his disciples. Other popular attractions in Sarnath include the Chaukhandi Stupa, Sarnath Archaeological Site, Mahabodhi Society Temple, and Deer Park. The Ashoka Pillar, inspiring India's national emblem, is also here.
- Varanasi is renowned for its 84 iconic ghats, which attract thousands of visitors daily. Recently, the city welcomed its 85th ghat, the reconstructed 'Khidkiya Ghat,' now known as 'Namo Ghat.' Capture a memorable picture at Namo Ghat, where our tour concludes.
