Traveler impressions of Varanasi
Varanasi is the Holy City of the Hindus. It is one of the oldest city in the world.There are 2 main ghats along the banks of the Ganges - Manikarnika Ghat & Assi Ghat.
Just be prepared when you visit the Ghats. The burning of the corpse was really shocking but it's a different experience for me.
A lovely city with enormous historical interest, but the streets were filthy and could do with a major clean up.
This is one of the oldest cities in the world and home to the famous Kashinath temple and Sarnath. It should rank among the 100 places to see before you die.
An Ancient City over 4000 Years Old by the side of Sacred River Ganges.It has long Hindu Tradition and has lots of Temples build more than 4000 years ago.
Is a very spiritual city, Vishwanath temple is a must to see and the Ganges, you can shop and go also to the other temples.
Varanasi is a very complex city. Accepting what is, is what it is, is important. From the burning yards, to floating your dreams and memories down the Ma Ganges at Aarti.
The culture here smacks you in the face. Walk the length of the ghats for full affect. Restaurants very hard to find.
A very poor city with many desperate people and many touts. Only for the brave and very strong willed.
Varanasi, or Benares, is a holy pilgrimage site for Hindus, as the Ganges runs through it, and is considered a sacred place.
Varanasi is known for its religious significance. One should go for a boat ride at ganges, Kashi Vishwanath Temple as well as a visit to Sarnath.
I was in India for almost a month, and Varanassi was definately the highlight of my tour. It was peaceful and I learnt so much about the history and traditions of the place.
Religious and historical place, wonderful sandhya aarati at the ghat, visiting various ghats through boat, lots of good food to eat including traditional sweets like rabri & perra.
Varanasi est une ville qui fait partie de la culture indienne (hindouiste). Si le côté religieux vous intéresse, et vous voulez comprendre davantage pourquoi et comment les hindous vivent leur religion, cette ville est à voir.
sooo amazing the Ganges and watching the local people bathe in the holy water....very moving u could see they r completley believing that these waters are very spiritual, healing and miraculous.
Amazing sights along the Ganges of Ghatts and river. Varanasi is the dirtiest city we have been to so far in India.
Just because of ganges river and like to see around, not really clear city, but very dirty and crowded with people.
Check out the fort. Also do a tour of Benaras Hindu University (BHU) . Early morning (about 4 AM to 7 AM) is very different from the rest of the day.
Varanasi is religious city for hindus. It is also one of the oldest living city and it is really very lively city.
Varanasi is the most ancient and holy city of India. Here the main attractions are Vishwanath Temple, Sankat Mochan Temple, Various Ghats specially Dashashwamav Ghat with Ganga Aarti, Bharat Hindu University, Sarnath etc.
Varanasi is an excellent place to realize the existence of ancient civilizations. The many temples and monuments such as Kashi Vishwanath Temple, New Vishwanath Temple, Ganges River, Kashi Visalatchi temple, Annapoorna Temple and ancient Buddhist Monastries and temples in Sarnath decorates the city with holiness and divinely feel.
Sarnat is a nice place to spend a morning or afternoon without the confusion of the streets of Varanasi.
Crazy but loveable, and one of the most "Indian" cities. A place to experience traditions and ways of life that are vanishing fast elsewhere
The most ancient city with attractions like Viswanath Temple, Ganga Ghats, Sankat Mochan Temple, Ramnagar, Sarnath etc.
Varanasi is not meant for everybody. Many will find it very dirty. But if you are travelling already a long time in India, than it is normal.
Beautiful city with a lot of history and culture. Its famous for the Ghats along the river Ganga that flows through the city.
There are many people in Varanasi, locals and tourists. If left the river side, it's quite easy to get lost in the alleys.
the dirtiest and most unfriendly place in India. Ghats are beautiful particularly from a boat. Major change of food born illness here, city is shocked by smog and ubiquitous burning trash.
Varanasi is a spiritual place more than anything else.It is a Hindu pilgrimage city, and as such it is the highlight of the stay in Varanasi.
Varanasi is a place you will either love or hate, it has very narrow streets and alleyways and is very crowded.

More about Varanasi
The Ganges River sees thousands of pilgrims every day, as it is a very holy site for Hindus and bathing in this river carry a great deal of spiritual significance. For visitors, just walking around the different steps – known as Ghats - and witnessing the religious ceremonies is an incredible experience. The river is also used as a burial site for those who were able to make it there in time for their death. While it’s a unique experience to witness most of what goes around in and around the river, it also offers a great deal of cultural and spiritual education so it’s important to be a respectful and open-minded visitor.
Spend at least one day exploring Varanasi on foot. The city is full of interesting and mostly ancient architecture and very small alleyways that are often too small for even the rickshaws. Walking among the neighborhoods and watching the activity of people all around is a great way to really get to know the city.
Of course, Varanasi is also home to many temples and places of worship. Near the famously intricate Dashashwamedh Ghat can be found the famous Vishwanath Temple, one of the holiest temples dedicated to the Lord Shiva. It’s an incredibly beautiful structure that carries a massive religious significance, definitely worth visiting.
