Vapi- One day trip planner

The city of Varanasi, speaks of devotion, of beliefs, of the culture that is still intact. When you visit Varanasi, here are the things we suggest going for-

Eat Banarasi Paan

Paan is the betel leaves. In Varanasi, people are fond of eating Paan and you can find a variety of Paans here. The usual red mouth of the people and the accent in which the locals talk is because of the Paan in their mouth.

Attend Evening Ganga Aarti

If you are in Varanasi and you missed the evening Ganga Aarti, then you missed the whole of the trip. Make it a point to attend the aarti and the rest, feel it yourself. The evening aarti at the Dasaswamedh Ghat presents a different level of grandeur. It is like a standing ovation to the Goddess Ganga.

Do heart full shopping

The Banarasi silk from Varanasi is famous all over the world. You can explore the city for this clothing, and you can find some at a very reasonable price. You can also shop for ornate jewels, shawls, bangles, etc. when you visit the ghats in Varanasi, do not forget to bring home some Banarasi incense sticks. The main shopping areas in the city include Thatheri Bazar Chowk, Godowlia, and Vishwanath Lane.

Take boat ride in river Ganges

The boat ride in Varanasi is not the motor operated ones. They are still traditional wooden boats with a sailor rowing it. The waves and the sunset makes a perfect combination for a slow moving water ride.

Volunteer for the clean Ganges

Because of rituals and tradition, people ignored the essence of cleanliness and the Ganges at Varanasi became polluted. As they say, better late than never, it’s good that people are now concerned towards the purity of the sacred river. You can also volunteer in the clean Ganga initiative of the government.
