Based on popular itineraries, here is a suggested plan for a 3-day trip to Kashi Vishwanath and the city of Varanasi.
Arrival and Check-in: Arrive in Varanasi, check into your hotel, and relax. Evening Ganga Aarti: In the evening, head to the Dashashwamedh Ghat to witness the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti ceremony. You can watch the ceremony from the ghat itself or from a boat on the river for a different perspective. Ghat Exploration: After the aarti, take a walk along some of the other famous ghats, such as Manikarnika Ghat (the main cremation ghat), to experience the unique atmosphere of the city. Dinner: Enjoy some local street food or dine at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Ganges.
Activities : Sightseeing
Early Morning Kashi Vishwanath Darshan: Wake up early (around 5 a.m.) to visit the Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple to avoid the crowds. This is one of the most sacred temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Temple Hopping: After your visit to the main temple, explore other nearby temples such as the Annapurna Temple and Kal Bhairav Temple. Old City Walking Tour: Spend the afternoon walking through the narrow, labyrinthine lanes of the Old City. These alleys are filled with small shops, traditional eateries, and temples. Weaver's District Tour: You can also consider a tour of the weavers' district to see the intricate process of hand-weaving the famous Banarasi silk sarees. Culinary Delights: Don't miss the opportunity to try local delicacies like Kachori Sabzi, Malaiyo (in winter), and Lassi.
Activities : Sightseeing
Morning Boat Ride: Start your final day with a tranquil sunrise boat ride on the Ganges. This will give you a chance to see the city come alive with morning rituals and offer prayers. Sarnath Excursion: Take a half-day trip to Sarnath, located about 13 km from Varanasi. Sarnath is a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon. Visit the Dhamek Stupa, Mulagandha Kuti Vihar, and the Sarnath Archaeological Museum. Final Temple Visits: If time permits, visit other temples such as the Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple and the Durga Temple, or the New Vishwanath Temple inside the Banaras Hindu University campus. Departure: Head to the airport or railway station for your onward journey.
