Divine Trip to Varanasi

The two-day trip begins with a flight to Varanasi. On arrival at Varanasi Airport, you will be met by our driver / representative and transferred to your hotel.

Varanasi, formerly known as Benares, is the most popular pilgrimage point for Hindus and one of the seven holiest cities. Considered the abode of Lord Shiva, Varanasi is situated on the banks of the River Ganges, which is believed to have the power of washing away all of one’s sins.
