Why fly to Varanasi?

Varanasi, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, is a vibrant spiritual hub on the banks of the sacred Ganges River in northern India. This holy city, also known as Kashi, is a kaleidoscope of ancient traditions, intricate temples, bustling markets, and serene ghats where pilgrims come to cleanse their sins in the purifying waters. Varanasi's mystical allure is palpable in its narrow winding lanes, where the scent of incense mingles with the sound of temple bells, creating a transcendent atmosphere that captivates visitors seeking a deeper connection to India's rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
