About Varanasi

Experience the spiritual capital of India with Ganga Aarti, Kashi Vishwanath Temple, ancient ghats, boat rides, and timeless traditions.

Varanasi, also known as Kashi and Banaras, is among the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. For pilgrims it is the city of Lord Shiva, where every lane, ghat and temple bell carries centuries of devotion.

GOFERS curates unhurried Varanasi journeys — sunrise boat rides past 84 ghats, darshan at Kashi Vishwanath, the grand evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, and quiet mornings in Sarnath where the Buddha gave his first sermon.
