After a short snap at your hotel and a good breakfast, I will pick you up again and we will continue exploring Varanasi. We begin the second part of the tour at Manikarnika: where death is celebrated.
Above the main burning ghat of Varanasi, one of the holiest cremation sites along the Ganges River, from the best place to observing and photographing, while songs of repentance and the smoke engulf the area and the corpses are cremated for the Eternal peace, I will explain to you in detail about the Hindu sacred rituals of death.
After that, we will head to the old town to discover the small and colourful alleys of the centre, historical palaces, sacred temples, traditional ashrams, bazaar and local markets, local culture, tradition and people. Let yourself go and enjoy this hike that will sometimes feel like a journey back in time!
