1. Ganges River

Reviewed By Phillip8789 - Terrigal, Australia
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.
2. Dasaswamedh Ghat

4.5 based on 1,953 reviews
India Trip Offer Dashashwamedh Ghat is the main ghat in Varanasi on the Ganga River. It is located close to Vishwanath Temple and is probably the most spectacular ghat. Two Hindu legends are associated with it: According to one, Lord Brahma created it to welcome Lord Shiva
Reviewed By SSRaju - Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The main ghat of Varanasi where there is action 24/7, the epitome is the Ganga Aarti performed every evening, witnessed by tens of thousands from the shore and from the river on boats. An elaborate affair that is truly breathtaking. Once a filthy spot, now it is absolutely clean and gleaming.

Reviewed By bkapil - Chandigarh, India
Visited the architectural marvel along with both kids and better half on 16th fm 08:00 hrs to 11:00 hrs . Its indeed a building which signifies best of architectural design and beauty , but the way it's being managed by the board/ management (if there is any) it's far below standard . Few DOs : carry ur own water steel bottle , as the plastic bottle sold is local made and drinking water cooler is neither clean not marked in which year it was . Juices and snacks prices are jacked up , if hungry carry own snacks - it's permissible . Carry good pixel - dslr (nominal fee) / mobile (permitted) and no other visible restriction . Local guide is required if you intend to know the history of the building , can be negotiated at rs.30-35 per person , for 4 persons we paid rs.125 Handicapped person cannot visit due to no supportive infrastructure . Wear thick cotton socks as walking without shoes only is permitted in labyrinth (bhool bhuliya) , prefer October to March cooler months . During summer months the building roof galleries and terraces are not covered with carpet (dari) , causing severe sun burns on ur feet (socks++) - which are best locations to take snaps thru telephoto lenses or high mm lenses , with entire old Lucknow as background . While purchasing ticket , purchase combined ticket for seeing five buildings , it's nominal as low as rs.50 per person ( kids above 3/5 it's considered adult , tentatively). The local guide for "bouli" charges rs.25-30 for group of 4 persons - pl hire to understand the significance of the building.The sacred masjid is not permitted for visit as it's a worship place . Shoes are kept in open (no shade / locker room) with tokens issued @ nominal rs.2 a pair - carry small denomination equivalent coins. Hiring local guide for seeing for all monuments thru combined ticket - roomi darwaja + clock tower + picture gallery + chikan factory (it's no factory but cluster of private owned shops charging exhorbitant ) , along with visits in e-rickshaw costs rs.100 , but there is NO guide per se , rather e-rick guy speaks and we believe :) - no other option . The picture gallery guy (no picture taking permitted) starts moving along and expects to be paid rs.100 or 50 or whatever comfortable . In case of crowd inside the labyrinth , walking in 2.5 ft corridor becomes difficult and smell of substantially old carpet in the pathway is bad - carry handkerchief (with perfume) /masks /ginger water and stamina to wait to get passage , rather feeling pukey. Overall entire cluster of beautifully made buildings require : professional management by an agency which is monitored , uniform clothes , helpline numbers (aren't any , neither displayed - so called tourist police A4 size mobile number displayed on white page at enterance and two stationary sleuths sitting at main gate ) . Proper shoe cabinet rack availability , Que management , automatic room freshners , fire extinguishers , infirmary , digital display boards in the respective languages giving authentic information of the respective buildings and knowledgeable recognised (government board approved) , educated local guides . To know the significance of old Lucknow and its rich history , visit must be made .

The Dhamekha stupa and other imposing structures adorn this holy site where Buddha first preached his message.
Reviewed By meriyatra - Mumbai, India
Very beautifully maintained and excellent facilities provided by the ASI and the Govt of India. Very impressed! The information provided is good. The place is neat and clean. A nominal fee is taken as entry charges. The museum is excellent. The highlight being the Ashok Chakra. It’s amazing to know that the national emblem is an integration of Buddhist philosophies. Truly unity in Diversity! For those who seek peace this historical place where Buddha gave his first sermon after attaining Nirvana is THE place to meditate in, the energies here are absolutely amazing! Loved being there and spending quality time in the place where the Teachings were given.

7. La Martiniere College

Reviewed By daun065 - London, United Kingdom
I have only seen photographs of La Martiniere, the college my father attended in 1934 so it was with great pride that my trip to Lucknow enabled me to have an insight into his school days. I have to agree with all the other reviewers that it's certainly a place to visit with its impressive architecture and military history. We were lucky enough to meet up with the Bursar and Principal who graciously spent time going through past records. A wonderful experience.
