Banaras Travel Guide – Where Every Morning Begins With Tea, Conversations & Timeless Vibes

If India is a book of timeless stories, Banaras (Varanasi) is its golden chapter.
During my recent read of a heart-warming feature in Allahabad Times, I was reminded why Banaras is not just a city—it’s an emotion.
As the article beautifully said, “Mumbai mera shareer hai, Banaras meri aatma.”
And when you walk through the ghats, you’ll feel exactly that.

☕ Conversations Over Chai & Newspapers

Morning in Banaras isn’t rushed. Locals gather at tiny tea stalls with a fresh newspaper, discussing life, politics, and cricket.
The aroma of kullhad chai (tea in clay cups) mixes with the sound of temple bells—a perfect start for any traveler.
👉 Travel Tip: Carry a reusable travel mug or eco-friendly tea cups on Amazon to enjoy chai like a true Banarasi.

🌅 Ghats That Tell Stories

From the spiritual Assi Ghat to the mesmerizing Dashashwamedh Ghat aarti, every step feels like a movie scene.
Even filmmaker Anubhav Sinha shared that his creative spark began here.
👉 TaxiNTravel Recommendation: Book a sunrise boat ride
for magical photos.

🍲 Taste of Authentic Banarasi Food
