Itinerary
After meeting in the heart of Varanasi, you'll hop into tuk tuks to start your adventure in this sacred city.
Over two hours, you'll be driven around the most symbolic places in Varanasi, one of the holiest cities in the world for Hindu followers. See famous monuments including Saint Thomas' Church and Kashi Vishwanath, known as the "golden temple" for its gold-plated domes.
You'll also visit Jantar Mantar, an observatory constructed under Maharaja Jai Singh II. Next, head to Dashashwamedh ghat to experience local life on the banks of the river Ganges.
Delve into the chaotic center of Varanasi, driving to Baba Keenaram Ashram, a Hindu meditation center, before crossing the Ramnagar bridge for panoramic views of the city.
On the other side of the Ganges, you'll reach Ramnagar Fort, a significant site in Varanasi. This 17th century fortress was built for the city's royal family and still serves as a residence for the current Maharaja, despite the title being unofficially obsolete.
Finish your tour with a visit to the tomb of Lal Khan, a Mughal noble. This beautiful mausoleum, built in 1773, exemplifies Mughal architecture and is one of the gems of Varanasi. Your tour will conclude at Ramnagar Fort.
