6 days in Varanasi Itinerary

A sacred city for Hindus and thought by many to be the place where Buddhism formed as a religion, Varanasi leaves an imprint on the hearts and minds of visitors regardless of their creed, race, or religion.

You'll explore and learn at Archaeological Museum and Ruchika Art Gallery. Head to U.P. Cottage Emporium and Pratibha Art Galleryfor some retail therapy. There's still lots to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Tibetan Temple, relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas, pause for some photo ops at Dhamek Stupa, and pause for some serene contemplation at Nepali Temple (Kathwala Temple).
