VARANASI HERITAGE WALK - NORTHERN CITY

Northern part of the heritage city has always been a cultural, social and financial part of the city. Our walk will take you through the narrow and puzzling Alley ways where most of the tourists get confused to pass through. The best way to experience this walk is to go and get lost in to them. We will take you through the city of lights, the cosmic center of Kashi (spiritual name of Varanasi), visit the world famous temple Kashi Vishwanath Temple or Golden Temple, which is believed to hold the first of the twelve Jyotirlinga (Sacred Light of Life) of the universe.

Winding through fascinating, colourful and buzzing markets and shops, you will visit Manikarnika Ghat, popularly known as 'MAHASHAMSAN', where the funeral fire continues throughout the 24 hours. This makes it a place to learn about the meaning of life and death. Here you will come to understand the philosophy of Varanasi and its contribution to the Indian spiritual life. Here we will try to explain as to why even the death is celebrated in Varanasi. At the end of the walk, you will visit the magnificent old Mosque along the river, which was built by the Mughals.
