There are not many activities that this city offers. All one needs to do is just sit on bank of Ganga and relax.

Just roaming around in the narrow lanes of the city is also a different experience by itself. These are certainly not meant to be the cleanest places on earth so don’t expect it to be clean.

Don't miss the morning/evening boat ride in the river.

A morning bath & Ganga Arti- Go for a morning bath to Dashashvamedha Ghat take a morning bath & stand for the Ganga arti.It will give you a look of Subah-E-Banaras

 

Get closer to Banarsi Masti- Walk through the narrow lanes of Varanasi, look closer towards the lifestyle of Banaras & have an idea of Banarsi Masti. But beware never react or interfere unnecessarily.

 

Boat Ride-A boat ride along the ghats is must if you are Banaras to have an idea of what is going on all ghats in Varanasi.

 

Get Indulged-If you are there for a longer time get indulged in the learning of some cultural activities, like training of any musical instruments, vocal arts, yoga, spiritual seminars etc.

 

Shopping-Banaras is a good place for shopping of wooden toys & articles; you can shop for ornamental articles of metals also. The most famous Banarsi Sari a must buy thing.

You can also shop for the Carpets as Varanasi & its near by areas are the host for India’s biggest Carpet industry.
