Varanasi is the heart of India. At the same time it is the most confusing place but also the one, which explains a lot. Who really wants to get to know India, cannot do without Varanasi. But during a 1-2-days visit, one can just scratch the surface. Our offer gives you enough time and possibilities to experience Varanasi more intense. 5000 temples and 84 ghats are just some of the superlatives of Varanasi. But it is the people, who enliven everything and who help you for a better understanding. Let’s go!
