VARANASI – THE REALM OF SPIRITUAL TRIPS TO INDIA

Our incredible India is best known for its spiritual aura. Deep spiritual trips to India are in a rage all across the globe, thanks to the widely spread purity and positivity of Hindu religion. Varanasi is practically the spiritual capital of India owing to its numerous holy temples, serene bathing Ghats and super devotees. This soulful place is never short of surprises. People from all walks of life dream of washing their sins away and attaining Moksha in this sacred place. Early warning! The hustle and bustle of the streets are not for the faint of hearts, neither are the very rituals of life and death that happen in the stark naked version of the public. You’ll literally live India through this place, though. Pack your bags and head to this Northern wonder.

The mélange of the old and the new!

Highlights of Varanasi

  1. The sacred Ghats
    The steps to the holy water of river Ganges are literally like the second home to all the people in the city. Dive, swim or dip your legs and just be. Positivity will be on your way!
  2. Prayers within the holy walls
    Your spiritual trips to India are incomplete without touching the walls of the holy temples and praying inside them for the good, better and the best. Varanasi will give you just that luxury owing to its abundance in beautifully built godly temples.
  3. Bazaars on the go
    Varanasi is the true epitome of Indian roots. The crowded streets, colorful alleyways, lip-smacking local food, the hustle and bustle of the Bazaars and the sensory overload of sight, taste, and smell promise to give you the perfect touch of our incredible India.
    Get yourself ready to dive in to a true Indian experience. Your travel will be worth it all.
