For a vibrant and colorful honeymoon, visit Varanasi and its ghats.

The ghats are essentially large stairways along the Ganges river.


Varanasi has almost a hundred ghats, most of which are used for ceremonial bathing.

However, some ghats are used for other purposes, such as religious cremations and other traditions.

Over 3000 years old, this city of temples is among the oldest inhabited cities of the world.

The city's waterfront is comprised of many buildings towering up over each other.

The setting sun's orange light makes both the river and the ghats gleam warmly.
