After meeting in the heart of Varanasi, you'll hop into tuk tuks and get ready to start your adventure of the sacred city.

Over two hours, you'll be driven around the most symbolic places in Varanasi, considered one of the holiest cities in the world by followers of Hinduism. See famous monuments including Saint Thomas' Church and the Kashi Vishwanath, one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest of Shiva temples, known as the "golden temple" for its gold-plated domes.

You'll also see Jantar Mantar, one of five observatories constructed under the order of Maharaja Jai Singh II. From here, you'll head to Dashashwamedh ghat, where you can experience how the locals live on the banks of the river Ganges.

Delve deep into the chaotic centre of Varanasi next, where you'll drive to Baba Keenaram Ashram, a famous Hindu meditation centre, before crossing the Ramnagar bridge, offering panoramic views of the city.

On the other side of the Ganges, you'll reach the Ramnagar Fort, an important site in Varanasi. This 17th century fortress overlooks the river and was constructed as the home of the city's royal family. The current Maharaja still uses it as a residence.

Finish your tour with a visit to the tomb of Lal Khan, a Mughal noble. The Muslim mausoleum, built in 1773, is a stunning example of Mughal architecture and is considered one of the true gems of Varanasi. Your tour will end at Ramnagar Fort.
