When you are told that you'll miss the soul of India ... if you miss Varanasi, your first reaction is that of disbelief. Don't go by the first impressions, though. Once you enter the city, it grows on you and keeps growing till you are overwhelmed ... after you discover the real Varanasi, you'll be completely inundated by the sparkling images of Ganga and its Ghats.

Varanasi, the city of Lord Shiva, is one of the most sacred cities of India and it is believed that, unlike other cities, there has been no discontinuity in its existence through the ages. Let Vacations India take this opportunity to give you a vacation of your lifetime.

It has become a custom of sorts for the tourists to take an early morning boat ride along the banks of Ganga. As you walk down to the ghat early in the morning, you'll realize that you are not the first one. You'll find many boatmen who are already there waiting for the customers. With Vacations India, you need not worry about bargaining or haggling with the boatmen over prices and all. Once you've started your boat ride, you'll be transported into a different world altogether. As the sun rises over the horizon, the most vivid images that you'd like to keep with you for posterity are that of sunrise, on the banks of Ganga. It is that time when people take a holy dip in the river for they believe that all their sins are washed away with the waters of the river. Most Hindus want their ashes to be flown with the waters of Ganga, after they expire. The photo-ops provided by the ghats while you are on the boat are incomparable as you can see many things happening out there. People taking bath, doing exercises, priests performing worship rituals ... it's all out there ready to be captured in images. You'll be surprised by one interesting thing in particular, the presence of people selling their wares on boats who will try to accost you while you are on the boat. Manikarnika is an important ghat in particular as it is the main ghat where the dead bodies are cremated. After the boat ride is over, the halo of supernatural grace of the city remains with you, and that's what we at Vacations India yearn for.
