Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple

Why we include it ยท The reason Kashi is Kashi โ€” one of the twelve jyotirlingas, and the temple every pilgrim on this route comes for. Your package includes VIP passes, which is the difference between an hour in the queue and twenty minutes.

Good to know ยท Phones, cameras and leather are not allowed inside; lockers are at the gate. The VIP pass in your package skips the general queue.

morning

Shri Kaal Bhairav Temple, (Varanasi)

Why we include it ยท The city's guardian, and by tradition you seek his permission before Vishwanath. Locals treat the order seriously.

Good to know ยท A small temple in a crowded lane. Around twenty minutes, and shoes come off outside.

4.7(29,529)
morning

Dashashwamedh Ghat

Why we include it ยท The ghat where the Ganga Aarti is performed every evening at five โ€” priests in saffron moving lamps in unison while lamps float out on the current. Also where the dawn boat ride begins.

Good to know ยท The aarti starts at 5:00 PM and the ghat fills an hour before. Your package includes reserved seating, which matters โ€” otherwise you stand.

4.6(71,691)
morning

Shri Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, (Varanasi)

Why we include it ยท Founded by Tulsidas, who wrote the Ramcharitmanas here. Tuesdays and Saturdays it is packed.

Good to know ยท Monkeys take food and anything shiny. Security is tight after the 2006 bombing; expect a check.

4.8(11,653)
morning

Banaras Hindu University

Why we include it ยท One of Asia's largest residential universities, with the Vishwanath temple replica at its centre and a good art museum.

Good to know ยท The campus is enormous and the visit is by vehicle. Around an hour.
