🧳 Résumé : Varanasi, also known as Kashi or Benares, is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, situated on the banks of the Ganges in Uttar Pradesh, northern India. It is a major spiritual hub for Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains, famed for its ghats, temples, silk weaving, and vibrant street life. Visitors can experience sunrise boat rides on the Ganges, attend the evening Aarti ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat, explore historic sites like Kashi Vishwanath Temple and Sarnath, and sample iconic North Indian street foods.

👉 Astuce : Arrive early to avoid the crowds at the main ghats and book a guided boat ride at sunrise for the best views of the city’s skyline and rituals. Dress modestly for temple visits (cover shoulders and knees) and carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer, as many street food stalls lack running water.

🔆 Point fort : The sunrise boat cruise on the Ganges, followed by witnessing the spectacular Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, is the quintessential Varanasi experience that captures the city’s spiritual energy and timeless atmosphere.
