BENARES IN 2 DAYS
Benares/ Varanasi/Kashi is the name for the same city, which is the spiritual and cultural capital and also the oldest living civilization of the world. Fortunately for me, Benares is my home town also.
Very recently, I visited Benares once again and looked at this city from tourist's perspective since I have started to write Blogs and make travel videos.
In this post I am sharing my experiences as a tourist in my Own city. Also this post will give you an Idea about how & what you can do in 2 days in Benares.
I started of my day with early morning trip to Dashashwamedh Ghat, where I watched an amazing Sunrise from the ghat itself. Then after taking some pictures, I negotiated with some boatmen for a half an hour boat trip, one of the boatmen agreed for 400 Rs for half an hour trip in Ganges.
After the Boat Tour, I was ready to explore the Benaresi Nashta " Kachori-Sabji & Jalebi' , I wanted to taste this Breakfast at a very old & famous Sweet Shop named 'Shree Ram Bhandar' , but that was closed because the day I chose for this outing was next day to Holi. After wandering through the streets of Benares, I managed to get a place where I found shop selling traditional Benarsi Nashta. That was really very tasty.
After a break, I started off again and went to see the largest residential campus in Asia, BHU ( Benares Hindu University). This University was founded by Pt Madan Mohan Malviya in 1916. The campus is spread across 1300 Acres in South Varanasi. The campus has 60 hostels and roughly 12,000 students live there. The total number of students studying in the university is close to 30,000. The campus so big that apart from having premier institutions like IMS & IIT, it also has a museum and a very beautiful temple by the Name 'New Vishwanath Temple'. The students call it VT. This temple in itself is 50+ years old but called new because the main Vishwanath Temple is very very old.
