Travel Tips for Varanasi

Ghat Navigation

Hire a local guide for first visit. Best ghats: Dashashwamedh, Assi, Manikarnika. Respect cremation ghats - no photos.

Sunrise Essential

Book boat ride the evening before. Start before dawn. Watching the city wake up is unforgettable.

Sensory Overload

Varanasi is intense. Take breaks in rooftop cafes. Evening aarti is crowded - arrive 1 hour early for good spot.

Silk Shopping

Visit government-certified shops for authentic Banarasi silk. Real silk burns to ash, not melts. Compare quality before buying.
