RECOMMENDED CLOTHING
Varanasi is a religious and conservative city. Wearing clothes that cover your body adequately are suggested.

There can be zones where you might have to take some stairs, so a good pair of footwear is always handy.
ABOUT VARANASI & VEDIC WALKS
Varanasi, also known as Kashi and Banaras, is believed to be the oldest continuously inhabited city on earth. Situated in Uttar Pradesh on the banks of river Ganga, it is among the most revered religious destinations in India.
Varanasi got its name from two rivers - Varuna and Assi - which meet here. The word Kashi is derived from the word ‘Kas’ which means to shine. Varanasi is famous for the bathing ghats along the banks of river Ganga. Pilgrims throng these Ghats to take a holy dip and rid themselves of sins.
Varanasi has been synonymous with the majestic river Ganga and her numerous rivulets. The Ganga Aarti held every evening at Dasashwamedha Ghat is a sight to behold.
WALK THE TALK: It is not like a usual Varanasi sightseeing where a guide points at things and the tourists listen to narratives and click funny pictures. It is for you to talk to people, ask question- no matter how irrelevant or stupid the questions are. During this Varanasi walking tour, It is imperative to dig out every piece of information that is of your interest.
KNOW & EXPLORE: Walks are slow and subtle. It is for you to explore the place, understand it and finally admire it. The walk has been designed by keeping the virtue of exploration in mind. Your interest may be religion, food, photography, history or culture. It is for you to explore the boundaries of your subject.
MEMORIES: Varanasi steals your heart away. It is colorful and bright. It has all the necessary ingredients to lure anyone who likes to know the insights of a place. Still the memories of this place are short-lived. A walking tour will ensure that you will love to ‘Re-live Varanasi in your future life.
GIVE BACK: A lot of travellers come to Varanasi and leave without giving their fair share. We at Vedic Walks, ensure that a percentage of our earnings go to the betterment of the town and keeps it lively as ever.
