Why Should You Add Varanasi to Your Golden Triangle Tour?
You might be wondering how adding Varanasi to your Golden Triangle tour is the best decision. Some of the reasons why a good Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi stands out are:
Spiritual Journey
There is something different about the ghats of Varanasi, it always draws you for more. If you are done with sightseeing and want a piece of spiritual awakening, then Varanasi is your place to be. Be it the Ganga Arti or the Dashashwamedh Ghat, this place is different from the rest.
You could also opt in to visit the Assi Ghat where boat rides are extremely popular. If you want a gush of positivity in your system, then the Golden Triangle tour with Varanasi is your best bet.
Ancient Heritage
It is a common misconception that only the three places of the Golden Triangle comprehensively cover the rich cultural history of India. Kashi or Banaras is one of the oldest living cities and thus, has a lot to offer in terms of heritage. For example, the Kashi Vishwanath Temple is an ancient temple devoted to Lord Shiva. This temple houses some of the most fascinating details that explain the religious practices of the ancient civilization.
You could visit the Banaras Hindu University or simply, the BHU. This is what houses the magnificent Bharat Kala Bhavan Museum. It is a must-visit as it exhibits diverse forms of rich art and craft heritage such as sculptures, paintings, textiles, and more.
Shopping Expedition
If you are someone who likes to shop locally then the Golden Triangle Tour with Varanasi could be a good option. Varanasi has some of the most sprawling markets and the Benarasi Saree is legendary. In fact, such is the popularity of this variant of saree that brides from all over the country wear the same on their special days, mostly weddings.
You could choose to visit the local workshops where artisans tend to work locally and produce authentic work. There are ample commercial hubs all across Varanasi that are the perfect option if you want to shop.
Gastronomic Delight
Just like the other three places in your Golden Triangle tour, the best thing about Varanasi is that here too you will be able to get some great food items. For example, the chat at Kashi Chat Bhandar is iconic, and such taste is very hard to match up to. You could also try the iconic paan at Banaras.
The Banarasi paan is made with traditional beetle lead topped with a generous portion of paan masala that adds to the flavor. Adding Varanasi to your tour gives you the chance to savor these flavors, enriching your overall travel experience.
