The magical, religious and deeply historical city of Varanasi in the state of Uttar Pradesh is known as the ‘City of Temples’ and is regarded as sacred by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. One of the oldest living cities in the world, Hindus believe they can bathe away their sins in the Ganges river. There are about 100 Ganga Ghats in Varanasi (which are the steps leading down to the banks of the River Ganges) and it is here that the Hindu people practice their holy rituals including bathing, cremations and yoga. One of the most popular tourist attractions in Varanasi is to take a morning boat ride on the Ganges to see the Ghats, and the daily activities taking place.

Description
Other tourist spots in the city are the Vishwanath Temple, also known as the Golden Temple, the Nepali Hindu Temple and the Alamgir Mosque from which you get a great view of the city and the Panchganga Ghat.
Whilst the number of tourist attractions is perhaps not as dense or magnificent in Varanasi as in other Indian cities, simply wandering through the alleys and soaking up the atmosphere along the river is enough to satisfy the most culture-hungry of tourists. If you are lucky enough to visit Varanasi at festival time, either at Diwali or Shivaratri, you will witness some fabulous preparations, music and decorations.
Multi Centre Holidays
Varanasi is best explored as part of one of our India Multi Centre Holidays – where we can combine them, with all the other bits of India that you want to see. We tailor make every holiday, so we can offer you any hotel, any itinerary.

Just booked our 3rd holiday with e-shores, yet again a full professional service and insight to the destinations we wanted to visit- no pressurised selling, and if we kept wanting our itinerary changed - Nick Chadwick didn’t mind at all. Easy to deal nothing to much trouble, also arrange everything to the last detail, no way would we contemplate a holiday to Chile, Argentina and Dominion Republic without eShores - thank u

We have recently been on an amazing 3 week holiday to Kuala Lumpur, Borneo and Singapore arranged by Hannah at eshores. Everything went smoothly and we had the perfect holiday. We loved our multi centre trip so much we have booked with Hannah to go to South America. Again the service and support is great and so easy to make tweaks to our itinerary. Looking forward to what I'm sure will be another great holiday. I would definitely recommend eshores.

We just booked our first trip with Nick from eshores and will be heading to Vietnam next April. Nick was very patient and professional. He listened to what we wanted and made changes to package where requested. Nick was very knowledgeable and made the process very easy.

During the booking process, Dave has been brilliant, always very quick to respond and answered all of my very many questions. Our travel is not till next year but, if our tour goes as well as our experience to date, it will be fantastic.
