East to West: Highlights of the Gangetic Plain
An immersive 2-week urban and rural adventure across the Indo-Gangetic Plain. Step away from the tourist trail and into authentic India.
If you really want to get a sense of the 'real' Varanasi, the only possible way is to explore the maze of narrow and puzzled alleys behind the famous ghats and mother Ganga. Beautiful temples and shrines, monasteries, cultural and religious diversity, major old markets and of course, sacred cows and bulls…all can be found inside the world of alleys and bylanes inaccessible by vehicles. This walking tour gives you an opportunity to experience the hustle and bustle and assault on the senses of real Varanasi beyond the riverfront...be prepared!
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
