Description

As they say that one of the best ways to know a place is to explore it via its food, explore Varanasi, one of the oldest cities in the world through its finger-licking food, and later witness the magical Ganga aarti in the evening.

Your tour will start with your guide picking you up from your hotel at 4:00 PM. Explore the true side of this magical city with its food. Try the scrumptious samosa, a triangular deep-fried snack filled with potato stuffing served with chili and sweet sauce and a local sweet named Laung-Latta, an extremely famous one made of flour and oarsman dipped in sugar syrup!

Proceed ahead to attend the evening Ganga aarti, cited as one of the most magical experiences of Varanasi! A century-old ritual where you will see priests using fire in the form of oil lamps as an offering to Mother Ganga to seek her blessings, this ritual is often attended by hundreds of people from
around the world!

Once the aarti is done, proceed to binge on some more delicious food as your guide takes to the most famous eatery of Varanasi. Binge on some local dishes like Tamatar chaat (tomato dish), Palak Patta chaat (spinach dish served with fresh yogurt), Aloo Tikki (fried potato cakes served with green
and red sauce), and lassi (sweetened yogurt). Try on some of the most famous local sweets and end this gastronomical journey with a Meetha paan! (sweet betel nut, something Varanasi is known for!) Post this, your guide will drop you back at your hotel.

Without a boat tour usually, so far ok

Due to high water, the boat trip could not take place. That changes the tour a lot, too bad. So it's pretty expensive too. Guide was good.

November 24, 2018

The walking city tour you can do on your own. It was nice to learn about Shiva and how people worship the god and the meanings of it. I didnt get the dinner that is supposed to be included. It was ok i give it 3 stars. Its not worth the price I dont think
