Varanasi Extension

Varanasi Homestay Extension

Explore holy Varanasi on an insightful Short Break Adventure – an atmospheric blend of temples, river ghats, and bustling bazaars. Cruise along the Ganges at dawn for a magical experience as the sun rises over groups of pilgrims absolving sins in the river. Explore the city and nearby Sarnath and wander independently through the bright bustle of the backstreets of the city. Visiting Shiva’s city is a must on any visit to India, and this four-day adventure is a perfect addition to your Indian exploration.
