We propose a tour of the most emblematic places in the north and south of the old city and the new city. I will be your host, guide and friend to make sure you get the conditions to make your best shots while enjoying the magic of Varanasi, the stories and tales, known and unknown places, that don’t appear in the guides. We will begin this exciting tour along the banks of the Ganges River, witnessing local life and the vibrant activity that takes place daily on the ghats from early in the morning. I will take you to the best places from where you can photograph the bustling activity, full of colour and tradition, in the ghats: pilgrims and locals taking the holy bath, praying, doing ceremony, doing laundry. Shadus, Babas ... A gift for the senses!

We will go to the burning ghat too, where death is celebrated. Photography here is not allowed since rituals are sacred to Hindus but I will help you to access to a good place from where to observe and take the best photos. From there, we will head to the old town to discover the small and colourful alleys in the centre, the historical palaces, the sacred temples, the traditional ashrams, the bazaar and the local markets ... And to all those places that have interest in photographing!

Time for lunch! it's time to regain strength after a long walk… I will recommend you a good place for taste a yummy Indian meal or for drinking the best lassi of the city. When your stomach gets happy I will bring you on our next stop: A boat ride on sunset. Light and ghats at that hour are a dream, you will enjoy witnessing local life and photographing the historical palaces and temples on the banks of the river under the magical light as evening falls. A gorgeous experience for your senses is waiting for you!
