About Varanasi

Varanasi, also known as Kashi and Banaras, is one of the oldest living cities in the world and the holiest city of Hinduism. More than 80 ghats step down to the Ganga, where pilgrims bathe at dawn and priests perform the spectacular Ganga Aarti every evening. Visit the revered Kashi Vishwanath temple, drift past the ghats on a sunrise boat ride, wander the narrow lanes famous for silk and street food, and make the short trip to Sarnath, where the Buddha gave his first sermon.

Varanasi

October to March is the best time to visit Varanasi, with pleasant days and cool evenings that are perfect for the ghats and the Ganga Aarti. Dev Deepawali, on the full moon of Kartik (November), lights up every ghat with lakhs of diyas. April to June is very hot, and during the monsoon the river rises and boat rides may be suspended.
