Overview

Varanasi — Kashi — is the spiritual heart of India. Dawn boat rides past ancient ghats, the newly expanded Kashi Vishwanath corridor, the fire and chants of the evening Ganga Aarti, and Sarnath where Buddha first taught.

Just a few hours from Lucknow by road or train, Varanasi pairs naturally with Ayodhya and Prayagraj in our most popular UP spiritual circuit, with easy add-ons from Delhi too.
