Varanasi - The Holy City

Varanasi is the most ancient of living cities and calls millions of Hindu pilgrims to the waters of the Ganges annually. 12 kms from Varanasi lies Sarnath, where Lord Buddha preached his first sermon. Here, he revealed the eight fold path that leads to inner peace, enlightenment and ultimate nirvana - now that sounds like yLead!

Whatever your beliefs, these two days exploring Varanasi are spiritually uplifting. To watch 1000’s of Hindus live their spiritual essence through early morning bathing rituals is a sight you will never forget. The burning crematorium will shock or fascinate you, but either way you leave this experience with eyes wide open. Your days in Varanasi include THE SECOND TEST played on the main Ghat beside ‘Mother Ganga’. You’ll attract 500 spectators to this fun interchange between two cricketing cultures. That evening, you will depart on the North East Express, where you will experience an unforgettable evening travelling with and through ‘village’ and ‘vintage’ India.
