Varanasi is the India of your imagination. One of the most colourful and fascinating places on earth, surprises abound around every corner. This is one of the world's oldest continually inhabited cities, and one of the holiest in Hinduism. Pilgrims come to the ghats lining the Ganges to wash away sins in the sacred waters or to cremate their loved ones. It's a particularly auspicious place to die, since expiring here offers moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth).

Colourful and spiritual are the two words best describe the charm of Varanasi. This Indian travel destination is famous for its bathing Ghats that line River Ganges. Considered to be one of the holiest places around the world, it is visited by millions of Hindus and travellers each year. Here are few of the things you can do in Varanasi.
There is no doubt that food is a significant part of Varanasi's culture—especially its piping hot kachoris at breakfast, refreshing paans, sweets, lassi and thandai. Most of the local favourite food joints lie near the ghats or in the jumble of narrow lanes that run behind them.
However, it also has restaurants offering a wide array of cuisines, from vegetarian Indian and Chinese to continental and Italian. It is not surprising to see a perfectly baked woodfire pizza on the ghats. Here are some restaurants that you must visit for a culinary adventure in the city.
