raveloguer
India’s Varanasi was one of my favourite places that I’ve
visited on my travels.
Varanasi was my introduction to India, and although
people say it isn’t a good idea to go there first, I’m so
glad that Varanasi was the first place I experienced in
India.
However, people often say that arriving in Varanasi can
be a little overwhelming. You will be greeted by chaos,
colour and the feeling of stepping back in time. Varanasi
is a wonderful place to visit and I recommend anyone
who visits India to experience Varanasi if you can. If you
are planning a trip to Varanasi, here is what to expect.

locals’ everyday life. The Ganges is a bath,
dishwasher, swimming pool and a vessel for
commerce for the people who live there.The Ghats are the big steps that led down to
the banks of the Ganges.The best time to visit Varanasi is from No-
vember to March.We went there in May, and it was insanely hot.
Temperatures were in the 40’s (Celsius). June
to September is monsoon season,
when the weather is still hot and humid.Shreyan Basu Majumder
