This tour offers an authentic experience of Varanasi, allowing visitors to explore the city like a local. Each alleyway in Varanasi tells its own unique story. The charm of the old city is said to lie in its gallis (lanes), which are too narrow for vehicles. There’s no need to worry about losing your way, as you’ll eventually find yourself by the river or on the main street. Enjoy browsing for souvenirs as you wander through Varanasi’s streets. Stroll through the main chowk, known as the city’s traditional business hub, and explore the shops and daily life in Thatheri Bazaar, a market for metal crafters’ household goods. Be sure to visit the various Saree shops and don’t miss the renowned ‘Benarasi Saree’. Make a stop at Panchganga Ghat, the confluence of the Five Rivers, and if time permits, conclude the walk at the temple dedicated to Kal Bhairava, a fierce aspect of Shiva, where both locals and pilgrims pay homage to the deity as the Eternal Judge of the City.
