Walking through the little alleyways of Varanasi
These little alleyways full of life are one of the reasons I love Varanasi.
(Sorry for the occasional sniffing noises from me, I had a running nose!)
Varanasi India A Walk Around The Old Town
A walk around the crowded streets of the old town of Varanasi India. The streets are filled with people being shaved and using neem wood to brush their teeth, cows, Hindu temples, the leaning temple, St Thomas Christian church,. All streets eventually lead to the Ganges River and the ghats.

Varanasi Street Food Tour with Anubhav | देव दीपावली Celebration | INSIGHT of Banaras
Dev Deepawali is the festival of Kartik Poornima celebrated in Varanasi, on the full moon of the month of Kartik, i.e. November- December. We made our way to the Ghats of Banaras for this beautiful spectacle.
We started the day at Pappu Tea Stall with a Ginger Lemon Hajmola Tea. This unique cup of tea is the perfect sweet and spicy digestive drink and is great to awaken your sense early in the morning. Our next stop for simple Banarasi breakfast- Kachori and Jalebi. We landed at Chachi Kachori Shop for some delicious Kachori and Sabji. This place is famous for the food they serve and is a favourite amongst the office goers in the area. Then we tried the Jalebi along with some Dahi for sweet yet not too sweet end to this meal!
We went on to try the famous lassi at Shiv Prasad Lassi Bhandar. The lassi here is thick, sweet and creamy and is topped off with some cream and rabri. This super thick concoction is very soothing to the palate especially if you've had something hot and pungent.
Our next stop was in Sigra at a shop called Popular Baati Chokha. The Baati os a dough stuffed with sattu, dals and then cooked over cow dung cakes. The chokha is made from eggplants, potatoes and tomatoes. This is the perfect spicy combination and on the whole it may not look like a lot but this dish is quite wholesome. Lastly how could we end the day without having some paan. So we went Keshav Tambul Bhandar for a classic Banarasi Paan.
In the evening we attended the Dev Deepawali Puja, which is a humongous religious celebration and people from all over the world come to Varanasi to witness this Puja. The celebratory atmosphere, the lights and the happiness on people's faces is worth visiting Banaras at least once in your life!

day718 : Walk around Varanasi @India
僕が初めて旅をした二十歳そこそこの頃に、インド帰りの旅人たちから幾度となく噂を聞いた、宗教都市バラナシ。生と死が混在し、人生観が変わってしまうディープな町、そんなふうに何度も噂聞いた。当時東南アジアを旅していた僕にはインド帰りの旅人たちが、どこか「それっぽい」雰囲気を纏っているように見えてとても憧れた。よく分からないジェラシーも感じたし、よく分からない旅人ヒエラルキーみたいなものの上位に君臨しているように思えた。そしてバラナシは、いつか必ず行ってみたい町になった。あれから15年。いよいよバラナシにやって来た僕は、滞在中毎日町を歩きまわった。沐浴する人々の隣で、パンツ一枚になって路上マッサージを受ける。暑さに疲れてカフェに入り、大ぴらに飲めないビールを壁に隠れていただく。いい感じで酔いが回り、ホテルに帰ってクーラーつけて寝る。いつのまにか夜になり、近くのイタリアンでパスタを食べて、また壁に隠れてビールを飲む。そんなバカンスのような毎日を過ごし、思った。歳とったなぁと。

Exploring Varanasi in India - The Ghats, River, Streets and Markets
I spend the day exploring the Indian City of Varanasi, the Ghats the river Ganges, the people, the markets and the animals.
I get a cycle rickshaw back to were we where yesterday. A go alone as today is a rest day so we are all left to our own devices until 17:00 when we go on the river for a flower ceremony (the boat strike finished today).
I spend a good few hours walking up and down the river taking photos of everything, people, boats, animals, buildings and clothes.
I don't want to seem cynical but this place is totally different to what I expected, I mean this place is meant to be the centre of religion for many people yet it is full of hawkers trying to sell you anything from postcards, make up, scalfs, boat rides and even drugs. One person even wanted to buy my hat. Even if you point your camera in the general direction of a local they demand money. Maybe about 40 years ago in more innocent times it truly was a spiritual city but now I just see an over commercialised location preying on tourists.
I saw a number of funerals taking place in the first area there was five and the second there was seven. I even saw a body being dumped into the river, this was because they were younger than 15 years old. I respect the family wishes and refrain from taking any photographs to show the people back home.
I head back to the hotel by auto rickshaw at around 14:00 and have a couple of cokes in the restaurant and surf the internet for a while in the cyber café just outside.

Night Walks - Varanasi, Episode 1 Fire
Varanasi, India - Travel Guide and Top Things To Do
Varanasi, located in North India, is one of the most sacred religious cities in all of India. It's a holy place, located next to the Ganges River. Dying in Varanasi is considered sacred, yet at the same time it's a city where people come to celebrate life and to splash in the water of the Ganges.
In the Varanasi travel guide I'll go over some of the top things to do in Varanasi. Unlike other huge cities like Delhi ( which boast an enormous amount of attractions to see and things to do, Varanasi is more about just being there. You don't have to rush from place to place seeing the sights, but it's all about hanging out either along the Ganges River or within the narrow Varanasi lanes and exploring, observing, and just watching. Spending the time just to sit and watch is one of the most rewarding things to do in Varanasi, India.
At the beginning of this video I first start the day at about 6:30 am with a leisure boat ride along the Ganges River. It's one of the most popular things to do, and for a good reason; Seeing the bank of the Ganges River from being in the river offers a truly magical glimpse into the life and death that takes place in the morning. Fog is especially common in the winter, and the day I went the fog was thick. Along with taking a boat in the Ganges River in Varanasi, another great way to explore is just on foot along the ghats. A ghat is a series of steps which lead down to the river. They offer a nice place to walk or a place to sit and watch. There are ghats throughout Varanasi. Dashashwamedh Ghat is the main one, but there are also two burning ghats where they burn bodies as well. One day while I was walking past the smaller of the two burning ghats in Varanasi, I was able to observe a funeral taking place where they sunk a body into the bottom of the Ganges River. Along with the rituals that went along with it, it was amazing to see.
If you're not along the river in Varanasi, the narrow ancient lanes are a great place to explore. You'll find all sorts of stores and shops selling cloth, spices, conveniences and some food stalls as well. Varanasi desserts are particularly famous, but also try round rotis and the local paan mouth chew. Within the lanes of Varanasi you'll also find Hindu shrines and temples like the sacred Kashi Vishwanath Temple. The line to enter the temple can be seriously long and the security is extremely tight in the area. One of the best ways to get around Varanasi, when you're on the main roads, is by taking a bicycle rickshaw. You'll be amazed at the places you can fit, but it's always a fun ride. Don't forget to stop on the side of the street to indulge is some delicious Varanasi street food while you're at it.
Finally, no trip to Varanasi is complete without mentioning the nightly aarti puja prayer ceremony, which is a ceremony dedicated to the gods of the Ganges River. This nightly ritual includes a line of holy brahmin who all perform rituals using fire, incense, and motion to bless the night. It's quite an event and something interested to witness.

After this, we walked DEEP into another lane and found a MALAI milk cream spiced with saffron. It was very delicious, frothy, creamy, and sweet.
Next up, we went for another milk based street food in India, the LASSI. It was quite sweet as well and was served with a ton of pistachio! After finishing our delicious Indian breakfast street food in Varanasi, we went for a HUGE Indian lunch at a famous Indian restaurant in Varanasi. The Indian recipes here were absolutely delicious. There were some baked dumplings that were super unique, you’ll have to watch the street food vlog to find out why, but they were definitely worth coming for. All the flavours here at this Indian restaurant were spicy, tangy, sweet, astringent, and overall very healthy and we would definitely come back to eat more of this delicious food.
After this, we went for our final street food in Varanasi, the paan. It was packed with spices and very cheap. A very strong flavour that I’m not sure I would eat again, but definitely worth trying once on the streets of India
