Varanasi, one of the world's oldest living towns, is well-known for its strong religious heritage and gorgeous Ghats, especially Dashashwamedh Ghat, where Aarti celebrations take place.
Dashashwamedh Ghat is the main ghat in Varanasi where pilgrims gather for rituals and the famous Ganga Aarti. Assi Ghat known for its calm atmosphere and Manikarnika Ghat for its cremation rituals are two other well-known places in Varanasi.
Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is a must-see for senior travellers visiting Varanasi. It offers a serene environment for introspection and strengthening your faith, it is fully accessible and equipped for seniors with pathways and modern developments.
Ramnagar Fort, an old Mughal-style fort on the opposite bank of the Ganges, houses a museum with ancient artefacts, vintage cars, and royal memorabilia.
To enjoy Varanasi's spiritual richness and cultural beauty, senior travellers should plan visits early in the morning or later in the evening, as the streets can be narrow and crowded.
