This holy city, situated on the banks of river Ganga is also called as Benaras and Kashi, the city of Moksha for Hindus. In Hinduism, it is the belief that those who die and are cremated here get a pathway to liberation from the cycle of re-births. There is a touch of varansi in the lives of great personalities like Tulsi Das, Shankaracharaya, Mahavira and Guatama Buddha.

The entire tour is planned meticulously. Ample opportunities for photography everyday. Apart from that, you get to eat in famous eateries, take beautiful boat rides and learn about the rich culture of Varanasi. You are sure to leave with heart and SD cards full. Pankaj sir is at the Center of this all. He is patient and guides you all along.
Read MoreWell organised trip which covered the essence of Varanasi. Special mention must be made of our mentor Pankaj who took great pains to make the trip comfortable and show us Varanasi from the viewpoint of a photographer. He also made a lot of effort to review our pictures and give helpful suggestions. Will love to travel with him again.
