Lord Shiva founded Kashi which later on became famous as Banaras and Varanasi. Among the world’s oldest continuously inhabited cities, it watches the meandering route of the holy River Ganga which facilitated the growth of civilizations thousands of years ago. The city is holy to Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs and was under Muslim rule for more than 3 centuries and hence, it exhibits an outstanding mix of cultural and religious heritage. Tripwhims.com considers Varanasi as the most important destination of Ganges Tour and is your perfect guide to have an unforgettable rendezvous with the city.
The major attractions of Varanasi revolve around Ganga and consist of ancient temples, like Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Kaal Bhairav Temple and Gauri Matha Temple, and sacred ghats, like Panchganga, Manikarnika, Dasaswamedha and Tulsi Ghat. Melodious chanting, lively aartis (prayers) and religious rituals performed at these sites are simply invigorating.
Other popular tourist spots in Varanasi are Alamagir Mosque, Sankat Mochan Temple, Banaras Hindu University and Bharat Kala Bhavan Museum, Chunar Fort and Ramnagar Fort and Museum.
