Varanasi
As one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world and a sacred place of pilgrimage, Varanasi buzzes with an infectious energy.
Every sense is raised as you explore its colourful ghats and winding streets, soaking in the scent of incense, the sounds of chanting or the sight of worshippers bathing in the Ganges. The rituals of life and death in Varanasi unfold on the riverbank and by day and night visitors become part of these moments of spirituality, whether taking part in the aarti ceremony or observing pilgrims performing their sacred ablutions.
