About Varanasi 

Varanasi is also known as the city of ghats because of the long series of ghats located beside the gigantic river Ganga that adds to the beauty of the city. But apart from making Varanasi more beautiful, the Ganga River is one of the most sacred rivers for Hindus and other religions in India. Thousands of people from every corner of India come to Varanasi just to take a bath in Ganga and wash their sins. 

Varanasi still holds centuries-old traditions, influences, narrow streets, some of the most beautiful temples in the world, amazing food, and lovely people. Since Varanasi is one of the most important places for pilgrims, the Varanasi tourism and the Varanasi tour packages offered by MyTripWale are very popular. 

Doesn’t matter whether you immerse in beautiful Ganga Arti at Dasashwamedh Ghaat or just jostle through the crowd to enter a narrow street and find the most magnificent Varanasi saree, you will always find yourself occupied during your stay in Varanasi. This is what entices people from every corner of the world to one of the oldest cities in the world. 

Many people in India visit Varanasi to experience salvation or what is popularly known as moksha while others visit the city just to get a glimpse of one of the oldest civilizations through the Varanasi tour package offered by MyTripWale.
