One of most significant religious centres of Hinduism, Varasani needs to visited to be believed. Bustling with devotees, sadhus, tourists and locals, the place is teeming with sights that are uniquely Indian.
The temples and ghats (steps leading to the Ganga) with thousands of devotees performing religious rituals and dotted with Hindu priests performing rites is quite a sight to behold.
The Vishwanath Temple, Sarnath Deer Park and the Ram Nagar Fort are worth a visit. Also the Panchganaga, Dasaswamedh and Kedar ghats offer a great slice of Varanasi life.
Getting there: Being the religious and tourist hub that it is, Varanasi is well connected to most major Indian cities by rail, the end point being either the Varanasi Juction or the Mughal Sarai Junction. You can also fly into Varanasi airport, that is about 25 km from the city centre.
