We bring to you the perfect tour of Varanasi that combines a visit to its religious monuments with city sightseeing activities and boat rides on the Ganges. This tour is ideal for those wanting to explore the holy city of Varanasi along with Sarnath, one of the most important Buddhist centres, in the short duration of 2 days.

Start by travelling to Sarnath from Varanasi. The holy city of both Buddhists and Jains, Sarnath is where Lord Buddha delivered his first of many sermons. See some of the major cultural landmarks of the area like Dhamekha, Dharmarajika & Chaukhandi stupas and explore its vast expanse of ancient ruins.

Drive back to Varanasi. Explore the city famous for its narrow alleyways. Tour its ghats, where you get the chance to see life and death together, and enjoy 2 rounds of boat rides on the Ganges, a holy river of Hindus. Attend the famous aarti (prayer) ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat.

Stay at one of the best hotels in Sarnath during the trip. Enjoy the best of our services throughout the tour. For more about the trip, please go through the itinerary.
