Highlights

This tour takes you across the city of Varanasi like a local. Every aisle of this city has a different tale of its own. It's said that it’s the gallis (lanes) of Varanasi, too narrow for traffic roads is something that holds the charm of the old city. Don’t worry about getting lost because sooner or later you will end up in front of the river or on the main street. Feel free to pick up some souvenirs as you enjoy the streets of Varanasi. Walkthrough the main chowk often known as the traditional business square of the city and peep inside the shops and lives of people of Thatheri Bazaar, the metal crafters’ household goods market. Visit the various Saree shops and don't miss the famous 'Benarasi Saree'. Pay a visit to Panchganga Ghat, the embankment of the Five Rivers and if there is time the walk concludes at the temple to the fearsome Kal Bhairava aspect of Shiva, where locals and pilgrim alike pay their respect to the deity as the Eternal Judge of the City.
