After Jaipur and Agra, the 3rd stop on my Trip to North India, was Varanasi.
Varanasi is a city situated on the left (west) bank of the River Ganga (Ganges) in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, regarded as holy by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains, and one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world.
The culture of Varanasi is closely associated with the River Ganges and the river's religious importance. The city has been a cultural and religious centre in northern India for several thousand years.
We reached pretty late in the afternoon so there wasnt much we could do on day one, other than check out a Night Ritual at a Varanasi Ghat.
Day two was more eventful. We woke up at Dawn to catch our Boat ride down the Ganges. An amazing way to start the day.
Unfortch I fell ill for the second half of the day, so the guys I was travelling with, left me along in my Hotel room. I made it out for a brief walk though.
Day Three of Varanasi was the least eventful unfortunately. I was pretty ill so I confined myself to our Hotel Room, while the other people I was traveling with went around.
Got a couple morning pictures from our Hotel's rooftop restaurant before catching our Train to Bombay.
The place is definitely amazing.
