Comprehensive Trek Guide

multi line

Varanasi, also known as Benaras or Kashi, is a city on the banks of the Ganges River. Varanasi is the real version of your imagination of a colourful and vibrant India. This outstanding city of Varanasi is one of the oldest habituated cities in the world and is holy pilgrim site for Hindu people all over the world. The Ganges flows gracefully on the bank of Varanasi washing away the sorrow and sins. The Ganges is the holiest river among the Hindu people and funerals and cremation rituals are performed on the banks of Ganges.

 

It is considered a privilege to die here, allowing Moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth) to the departed soul. Varanasi is not just sacred for Hindus but it has great values in Jainism and Buddhism. Visiting Varanasi is the answer to the colourful imagination and spiritual pursuit since these things fuse together, allowing a lifetime experience for those who seek it.

 

Tipping Recommendation

We recommend allocating 10-15% of your total tour cost to tipping guides, drivers, and other hardworking staff who ensure your experience is unforgettable. While tipping is not mandatory, it is a meaningful way to support the seasonal workers who dedicate themselves to making your trip extraordinary.

By booking with us and participating in the tipping culture, you are directly contributing to Nepal’s local economy and helping sustain the tourism workforce. This support is crucial in retaining talent within the country and addressing challenges like brain drain.

Your generosity makes a lasting impact—thank you!
