The north Indian city of Varanasi, or Benares, is regarded as sacred by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. Situated in the fertile Ganga valley and on the banks of the Ganges, Varanasi is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus, who come to bathe in the holy river. Known as the City of Temples and a beacon of culture, Varanasi has produced many renowned writers. It’s also a center of silk weaving, so practice haggling at the chaotic bazaar for some beautiful souvenirs. Rickshaws are the best way to get about.

We had the opportunity to walk many of the Ghats, be on the Ganges for sunrise and sunset, observe people bathing, washing clothes, seeing cremation services and observing the Ganga Aarti devotional ritual being performed. This is a unique experience - being able to be on The Holy River is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Nothing we have seen in our overseas travels compares to this.

The Garden of Spiritual Wisdom in Sarnath, Varanasi is a new tourist destination. Located behind the Chaukhandi Stupa, the garden uses a mix of exhibits and sculptures to convey the essentials of Buddhism and Indian spirituality. Beautifully made, the tourists love the heavenly experience of this educative, sacred site. An Ayurvedic herbal garden makes people aware of benefits of Ayurveda.
All gardens beautifully immaculately kept- many stone tablets with inspiring words of wisdom from Buddha’s teachings. Extremely peaceful place with great views of the Chaukati Stupa as well
