Arrival
Varanasi GhatAfter your arrival in the religious city of Varanasi, you are received by our reception team cordially. Since you are tired after the journey, we'll take you to the hotel so that you can get fresh for the day. Later we'll go for a sightseeing trip to Sarnath.

Varanasi
The religious city of Varanasi which has always been a popular centre for learning and civilization is said to be created by Lord Shiva. The Hindus consider the place to be divinely blessed and due to the combined effect of all these factors, the place is enormously popular as a tourism destination. Varanasi offers you access to a wide variety of cuisines and a good range of handicrafts, specially silk, as well.

If you are asked to name one tourism attraction of Varanasi, chances are that you are definitely going to talk about the holy river Ganga. All the Ghats are located on the southern bank of the river which attract host of tourists as well as the devotees. You can spot the devotees performing their holy rituals who strongly believe that these can help them in attaining eternal salvation. There two ways to tour the place you can either choose to join the crowd or take a boat ride along the Ghats so that you can get a panoramic view of the happenings on the Ghat.
Varanasi Attractions
Kashi Vishwaanath Temple - This temple was destroyed in various invasions and was later renovated by Rani Ahilyabai of Indore. Lord Shiva is the presiding deity of this Golden Temple which is called so because of the fact that the spire of the temple is gold plated. The gold for the purpose was donated by Maharaja Ranjit Singh.

The Ghats of Varanasi - The city of Varanasi is called the eternal city because it is believed that the city has existed in a continuum throughout in the history. So is the case with its Ghats which are the main tourism attraction of the city. People throng to the Ghats every day in large numbers to take bath in the holy river after which they proceed to the temples located on the banks to worship. Another prevalent practice since ancient times is to worship the rising sun in the morning.

Jantar Mantar - Jantar Mantar is an observatory constructed by Jaisingh which is in line with those built in Delhi and Jaipur. It is a scientifically built structure which gives you measurements that are as exact as any other measurements by advanced scientific instruments are.

Banaras Hindu University - The Banaras Hindu University is among the oldest educational institutions in India which was founded by Pandit Madan Mohan Malwiya in 1916. The university was an important hub of activity in the independence movement of India.

Sarnath - Situated only 10 km away from Varanasi, it is considered a very pious destination by the Buddhists all over the world. After Lord Buddha attained enlightenment, he delivered his first sermon to his five disciples in Sarnath. Emperor Ashoka built many of the monuments in Sarnath in memory of Lord Buddha as it was he who spread the message of Buddhism all across the world therefore Sarnath was very special for Emperor Ashoka. When Sarnath was at its peak, the place used to be a major centre of Buddhist learning for the students.
Sarnath Attractions
Chowkhandi Stupa - This square structured monument is visible from a distance and it is situated on a small hillock. The place where today the Chowkhandi Stupa is situated was where Lord Buddha was first welcomed by his first five disciples after attaining enlightenment.

Dhamek Stupa - The lower portion of Dhamek Stupa is constructed in stones whereas the upper portions have been built with bricks.

Ashok Pillar - The Ashoka Pillar is 20 meter high though it is not in the best of the condition today. There is an Ashok Chakra on the pillar upon which four lions are situated, out of which only three are visible at a time. It has been declared the national symbol of India now.

Departure
Amidst this hectic activity, we haven't forgotten to arrange for your lunch and dinner. Along with us, you'll leave Varanasi for Gorakhpur in the evening.
