Om
Snabba fakta: You will witness the ritual of cremation that has been carried out for centuries along the sacred Ganges River. This place is believed to be a path to achieving moksha, liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
Höjdpunkter: Every day, the sacred fire burning at this ghat has continuously burned for more than 700 years without going out. The air is filled with the scent of incense and the sound of mantras that add a deeply spiritual atmosphere.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable and modest clothing as this is a sacred place open to the public.
- Bring a camera but respect privacy and do not photograph the cremation process directly.
- Come in the morning to see the ritual activities in beautiful natural light.
- Avoid carrying large bags to make it easier to walk on the crowded stairs.

Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat

Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Varanasi, India, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
