As you reach the last leg of the Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi, you are in for the most tranquil experiences in the tour. Varanasi, the Spiritual Capital of India, is one of the most loved tourist places in the country because it offers travelers the chance to connect with their inner selves and find peace and solace. It also happens to be one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, adding to its charm. Listed below are a few experiences that you can enjoy in Varanasi:
- Witness the Magnificent Ganga Aarti Ritual
If you are in Varanasi, you must visit the popular Dashashwamedha Ghat to watch the Ganga Aarti. Imagine the sound of conch shells mixed with the chants and hymns by priests blended with the magical view of multi-tiered lamps glowing with lit-up diyas. Extraordinary, isn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what the Ganga Aarti looks like, and you shouldn’t miss it for anything.
- Enjoy a Peaceful Boat Ride
Varanasi is famous for its scenic boat rides. Wake up early in the morning and reach the Ganga ghat on time for a soothing boat ride on the holy river. As you cruise on the waters, watch the sun rise and emit its rays on the cold glistening waters of Ganga. The sight is unlike any other and must be experienced at least once in your life.
- Visit the Spiritual Town of Sarnath
Located a few hours away from Varanasi is the Buddhist pilgrimage site, Sarnath. The place is of great significance for the Buddhists as this is where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon and imparted his teachings to the world.
