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

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

On the opposite bank of the Ganges, reach the Ramnagar Fort, a significant sight in Varanasi. This 17th century fortress served as the residence for the city's royal family, and the current Maharaja still uses it as a place of residence.

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