At your destination
Discover Varanasi
Varanasi rewards a slower pace: riverside ghats, temple lanes and the nearby heritage of Sarnath each deserve their own time. A private road journey gets you to the city, but the older neighbourhoods are best explored on foot or by permitted local transport.
- 01
Kashi Vishwanath
Check current darshan and security arrangements. Temple lanes may require walking from the nearest permitted vehicle drop-off.
- 02
Ganga ghats
Plan a riverside walk or an evening aarti visit without assuming a reserved viewing spot. Boat rides are optional and arranged separately.
- 03
Sarnath
A distinct excursion focused on Buddhist heritage; allow time outside the old city rather than treating it as a quick ghat-side stop.
Before you set offComfortable footwear and a modest day bag help in the lanes. Confirm the nearest accessible pickup point before leaving the vehicle.
