Description
Take the tour to explore Varanasi’s maze of streets–by joining a guided walking tour. Your guide will tell you fascinating stories about the city’s history and mythology.
Varanasi or traditionally known as Kashi (meaning light), is believed to be the oldest city on the planet standing today. We have seen people coming to Varanasi with great hopes & expectations, but most of the time we felt that they leave Varanasi without understanding the true essence of the city, its glorious past and spiritual history.
Do you know that in ancient history people dreamt of dying in Varanasi only and no where else? Varanasi has been the most important place for people seeking liberation and enlightenment, even Buddha got enlightened very near to Varanasi. This walking tour is a journey of exploring Varanasi in its true sense, a great induction of the city, its history, its vibrant culture and its people with lots of wonderful stories about the city, fun facts and must do things in the city.
