Three deeply atmospheric days in Varanasi, one of the world's oldest living cities. Dawn boat rides past the ghats, temple lanes, evening aarti on the Ganga and a quieter half-day at nearby Sarnath create a short but powerful cultural and spiritual journey. This heritage variant puts the destination's most meaningful landmarks, local context and classic cultural stops at the centre of the journey.
