Описание к видео EP 1 Varanasi ( Banaras, Kashi) 5 am to 8.30 Pm

Our Day at Banaras started with Subah -E -Banaras, dip in the Holy waters of Ganga, visit to Bhagwan Vishwanath temple. We also explored local food, enjoyed some unique chaat like Tamatar chaat.

This journey ended with Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh ghat. It was a very long day, great spiritual learning at Banaras and a lovely day.

When i was in Surat, Gujarat i heard a famous saying: Surat Nu Jaman, Ani Kashi Nu Maran, then only i decided that i had to visit Kashi. I also visited Mukti Dham where people check in to die.

Details of all the places visited by us on day 1 of our Varanasi journey is given below:

Hotel: I stayed there in 2 hotels... 2 days at Hotel Tridev which is 100 meters from Kaal Bhairav temple.Very crowded location, though the hotel was good from all aspects but lot of traffic and noise around..

After 2 days i shifted to Hotel Buddha this is also in old city area about 3 km from Kashi vishwanath temple, this place was in a small lane disconnected from traffic area.

Cost per day tariff: Rs 2600 at both these hotels incidentally almost same cost on dual occupancy.

i like peaceful areas especially when it comes to staying in a hotel, so shifted.

Hope you enjoyed watching this episode. Soon you will see more of Kashi on visa2explore. Till they good bye see you soon.
