North India Vacations

Start the day early with a visit to one of the most ancient and sacred places in Varanasi, the Manikarnika Ghat. It is believed to be the most auspicious place in the world for a Hindu to be cremated. Witness cremation ceremonies being held on the ghats...a morbid sight in the silence of the early morning. Take some more time to observe the sacred rituals as sun rises and a lot more people start to pour in. The ghats now become a beehive of activity, people doing all sorts of things as exercising, bathing, pandas performing puja. Carrying a camera along at this point can be a great idea to capture some priceless shots. Return to the hotel.

Breakfast will be served at the hotel. Proceed for a day guided tour of Varanasi entailing sights like the Gyanvapi Mosque, Benaras Hindu University, Asi Ghat, Tulsi Ghat, Harishchandra Ghat, Annapurna Temple and Alamgir Mosque. Overnight at Varanasi.
