Holy city of Varanasi is one of the most revered cities in Hindu pilgrimage because it is the home of Mahadeva/ Shiva (the supreme God as according to Vedas). Ganga the sacred river flows from here originating from Shiva’s long braided hair, temples and ghats line the river and offer peace of mind and tranquil experience to the devotees. This city is reached on day eighth and tourists are free to relax and rejoice themselves in its reposeful atmosphere at the hotel here. We watch evening ritual prayers on the ghats and take a boat ride through river Ganga. Come back to the hotel in Varanasi and stay overnight here.

We will take you back to Delhi on the last lap of this tour. We drop you at the airport at the end bidding you a warm farewell as you proceed to fly back home.
