From Agra to Varanasi by Train
Varanasi, one of world’s oldest living cities, is rightly called the religious capital of India. It rests on the left bank of the holy river Ganga (Ganges), and is one of the seven sacred spots for Hindus.
Every devout Hindu hopes to visit the city at least once in a lifetime to take a holy dip at the famous ‘Ghats’ of the Ganga. Viewing the Ghats from a boat on the Ganges, especially at sunrise, is an unforgettable experience!
