Varanasi
One of the oldest living cities on earth
Chapter 01: The Sacred River
Experience Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities on earth. Observe the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti fire ceremonies from a private wooden boat on the sacred river Ganges, walk through narrow lanes alive with clay tea cups and silk weavers, and sit with local Vedic scholars for private chanting sessions.
Varanasi has been a center of Hindu pilgrimage for over 3,000 years. Every ghat along the 5km riverfront has its own ritual purpose — from cremations at Manikarnika to morning bathers at Dashashwamedh. The city operates on a spiritual time zone entirely its own.
