Travel guides, tips, and stories
Definitely! The ghats and temples are always filled with people, locals and tourists, so you won't often feel alone. Just keep an eye on your belongings as you would in any crowded place. At night, only walk along well- lit main streets, and please make sure you do not take pictures or loud talking at the cremation ghats, okay? Show some respect.
The Aarti takes place every single day at the Dashashwamedh and Assi Ghats. If you plan to come during the busy season which is between October or March, it is suggested that you get there early or find a spot on a boat. Seeing those lamps floating on the river from the water? Pure enchantment.
You can cover the main attractions such as sunrise at Ganges, Kashi Vishwanath temple, the aarti, maybe Sarnath but to be honest, this city gets into your veins. Would you like to lose yourself in those narrow lanes, negotiate for silk, or simply have a cup of tea while watching the craziness from the corner? At least 3, 4 days worth it. You'll see!
