Varanasi is a must-visit stop in the holy city of the Ganges. For 2 days and 1 night, experience the unique atmosphere of Varanasi between the Ganges and the night festival.

The first impression Varanasi gives is almost always drawn from the Ganges. When it actually appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.

When it comes to Varanasi, locals first mention the Night Festival. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the gateway to an entire life.

Another side of Varanasi is hidden in the old city alleys. With less crowd from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become a local here.

If you have the energy to go, go for a morning bath. There's no standard answer there, only your own pace, just filling your itinerary perfectly.

Varanasi taught me one thing: you don't have to chase every sight, just as the Ganges taught me—the best scenery is often where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
