Over two hours, you'll be driven around the most symbolic places in Varanasi, known as 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, known as the "golden temple" for its gold-plated domes.

You'll also see Jantar Mantar, one of five observatories constructed under Maharaja Jai Singh II. From here, you'll head to Dashashwamedh ghat for a glimpse of local life on the banks of the river Ganges.

Next, explore the chaotic center of Varanasi, visiting Baba Keenaram Ashram, a well-known Hindu meditation centre. You will then cross the Ramnagar bridge for panoramic views of the city.

On the other side of the Ganges, you'll reach Ramnagar Fort, an important site with a crumbling 17th-century fortress that was home to the city's royal family. The current Maharaja still uses it as a residence.

Conclude your tour at the tomb of Lal Khan, a Mughal noble, built in 1773, showcasing stunning Mughal architecture and considered one of the true gems of Varanasi. Your tour ends at Ramnagar Fort.
