  We will start our day, before dawn rise with a boat ride from Varanasi's main and busiest ghat: Dashashwamedh. You will feel overwhelmed by the beauty of the sunrise and the magic light that bathes the historical palaces and temples on the banks, enjoying for sure witnessing local life and photographing the vibrant activity, full of colour and tradition, on the ghats: pilgrims and locals taking the sacred bath, praying, doing ceremony, doing laundry. Shadus, Babas… A gift for senses!

  After taking a short nap at your hotel or getting fresh energy from a hearty breakfast, we will experience a memorable journey through the southern part of the city in a combination of walking and Temple Tour. Walking through the alleys, from north to south, we will immerse ourselves in the busy local life, we will closely observe the rituals and traditional trades that still persist and visit the most important temples of the city as well: the Durga Temple, the Sankat Mochan (Monkeys's Temple), the Nepal Temple (Kathwala Temple), Shibala Temple, Lorark Kund Temple... After that, and before evening falls, I will take you to our next stop: the traditional silk weaving town by tuk tuk. There we will explore the Muslim area, learn about silk weaving and observe what the creation process is like and the beautiful final silk products (saris, scarves, ...)
