From Tourist Attractions To Local Eateries, Solo Traveller Shares The Ultimate Itinerary For Varanasi

Gone are the days when Varanasi was considered a destination for elders to immerse in spiritual experiences. Today, travellers of all ages wish to enjoy a holiday in this auspicious city and spend a wonderful time exploring its lanes, tourist attractions, and temples and indulging in a gastronomic feast. Are you also planning a trip here? Well, we have found a great itinerary for Varanasi that covers wonderful travel diaries and A-Z of this scenic destination.

A Solo Traveller Shared The Perfect Itinerary For Varanasi

Taking to X, Aditi Tibarewal (@aditi_tibarewal) has the ideal travel plan to explore this picturesque city.

Let’s start the holiday with a food fiesta. Begin your morning by visiting Chachi ki Kachori and relishing aloo kachori with jalebi. The experience of waiting in the crowd and gorging on the deliciousness feels one-of-a-kind.

A trip to Varanasi is just incomplete without gorging on rich and creamy lassi. Head to Pehlvaan Lassi, nestled near Chachi ki Kachori, and dip in the ultimate Banarasi feels.

Varanasi is more than just a religious destination. Explore the breathtaking city and find stalls selling the most mouth-watering local dishes all around. For many foodies, a must-try authentic dish is Tamatar Ki Chaat. However, Aditi Tibarewal shared that it is quite basic. You can add Kashi Chat Bhandaar to your Varanasi itinerary for Tamatar Ki Chaat and Aloo Ki Tikki.

Samosa lovers, the next time you travel to Manikarnika Ghat, make sure to stop at this crowded shop to savour the yummiest Samosa Chaat.

Do you like to gorge on desi thalis? If yes, Baati Chokha is a great restaurant to visit. The special thali served here offers a premium experience and loads of options at affordable prices.

While returning home, pack Varanasi’s special sweets and snacks for your loved ones. Madhu Bahar is an iconic and must-visit shop here.

Banaras is renowned for its iconic boat rides. Witness the most enchanting ambience and spectacular views by enjoying a boat ride in the morning. Aditi recommended ‘Visit Kashi’ to book this experience.

With the arrival of the winter season, the next few weeks are the best time to get serene visuals of Caribbean birds flying in the sky. While boating and exploring ghats, purchase bird food and feed the migratory birds flying around you.

These Are Varanasi’s Must-Visit Places

Offering prayers at the Kashi Vishwanath Temple is an enchanting experience. Though being here feels serene and rejuvenating, the entire darshan process takes a long time. To save time, you can either book VIP tickets 2 days before travelling to the mandir or visit at around 9 PM to join smaller queues of devotees.

Exploring the Banaras Hindu University is an incredible travel experience to include in your Varanasi itinerary.

Are you looking for accommodations? Well, according to the X user’s recommendations, Sri Yoga Mandir located at Ravidas Ghat is a great option. It is quite clean, offers pretty views, and serves homely food.

Manikarnika Ghat is known for being the holiest cremation ground. No matter when you visit, you will see bodies cremating and burning. Though this bustling ghat often triggers thoughts about death, the never-seen-before surroundings offer a one-of-a-kind unexplainable experience.

DO NOT LEAVE the city without trying the world-famous Varanasi pan.

Though Aditi could not visit all the places, she suggested a list of destinations to add to the travel guide. Her recommendations include visiting Bindu Madhav Temple, Batuk Bhairav, and Ramnagar Fort. She recommended travellers to witness Saptarishi aarti in the evening and Vishwanath ki mangal aarti at 3 AM. For foodies, she shared indulgent experiences such as relishing malaiyo in winter and blue lassi.

The ongoing winter holiday season is a great time for a memorable Varanasi vacation. Are you planning to travel here?
