Varanasi
About Varanasi
Varanasi, or Benaras, is one of the oldest living cities in the world. Situated on the western bank of the Ganges, it extends from the river ghats in a labyrinth of alleys. It is the holiest of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism.
The Surroundings
Just 10 km away lies Sarnath, where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon. The region is encircled by spiritual energy, rural craft villages specializing in Banarasi silk, and the sacred confluence of rivers at Prayagraj slightly further afield.
