We were nervous and on the fence about whether we should go to Varanasi because of all the mixed stories we've heard, but we had a great time and learned a lot! Part 3 of our India travel series coming soon!

I think you're mistaken, there are a lot of luxury hotels in Varanasi. I can count at least 6 hotels with a 5 star rating including Radisson blu and the Taj hotels (an indian favourite). You can also book a room in the former house of the Maharaja run by the Taj hotel group or if you want great views of the river I will recommend Brijrama palace. Its a very tourist friendly city and you find all sorts of accommodation in the city ranging from 10 dollars to 500 dollars a night

Varanasi was the holy place, but it's now a hell on earth due to bad pollution, which is harmful for life. Being a Sanatani, I have not wanted to go there, but I will go there where the river Ganga originates, like in Uttarakhand.

I often feel Indian travels are wrongly portrayed or sometimes, exaggerated. We went to Varnasi too! Literally, had no issues with safety. Yes, it might be unsafe at times. But, we saw more harassment in Egypt and Turkey than we did in India. Also, we had those intense stares from people but, I think that was universal across all Indians. Not just men. But, yeah a lot of dogs and cows on the roads too haha

They want to portray us as evil and pagan but they don't want people to know our civilization is the oldest surviving civilization. Also we haven't countered their narrative because we're busy in our spirituality. I know some people in India are bad but we will educate them as well.

Maybe some % of the teachings are spiritual, but that does not make the modern country is spiritual. Just looking around the country strikes you as more anti-spiritual setting than not.

People outside india are well educated whereas in this place people are nice and helpful but I am not sure about scams... its not a safety issues but scam are normal there. because the place has very low literacy rate in india.

I went to India after trekking in Nepal. I have to agree that Indian cities are extremely busy and noisy, as was Kathmandu, but also fascinating. The people were warm and friendly. My partner and I never felt unsafe. It's quite the experience!

Hey

If you travel through India on a low budbet level, eat where the everyday poeple eat, sleep in budget hotels , enjoy the India traffic , travel by train and bus with the everyday people "India" becomes adictive for some people , including ME! Otherwise you miss the real sensation of India: The Indian people! They are friendly, warm, hospital and in total the nicest people I've ever met in Asia. I was there five times and I prepare for my 6th tour now. I LOVE INDIA, namaste from Germany

This is world's oldest living City , a heritage site indeed !! It has also very relevant place in Hinduism and one of the most sacred city for Hindus !! Jai Hind ! Jai Bharat ! 🇮🇳

Hare Krishna 💙.. So glad to hear that you guys came to India...I'm from India but I didn't visit varanasi though... But after completion of my engineering I will... Radhe-Radhe 🙏

Most of the times it depends on the people you interact with when you're visiting a new country and i can see you guys had mixed experiences (some good and some a bit 😬). I'm Indian and I'm specifically from Varanasi and i would not recommend the hostels/hotels near ghats specifically. You can have much better experience if you book a place a bit far, you would have to travel more but it's worth it and always read the reviews and pictures uploaded by people who stayed there. Varanasi is famous for its streets/allys so you will come across many of them. I'm glad you guys being an LGBTQ+ visited India despite of the not so positive image portrayed online. Also Indians are one of the most curious people so you'll get those stares, random people approaching you asking questions, asking for selfies etc. everywhere in India. I hope at the end of the day you guys enjoyed your stay and if possible come back during festival season.

Goa ( Hippy state of India) 2. Himachal Pradesh ( the abode of snow) 3. Ladakh (Cold desert ... Heavenly) 5. Andaman and Nicobar Islands (white sand beach with blue waters) 6.

The streets in varanasi are too compact from the past some hundreds of years, but they havent always been so, there are small temples inside some of the houses, and houses were made closer to each other to slow down the muslim army from reaching the main temple and destroying it, which they eventually did, earlier it was a really beautiful city, efforts are on to revive that

these are the remains of a civilization in an advanced stage of decay, the one which has remained richest from 1AD-1700AD, and after the 19th century when the british came has seen its decline ever after

So beautiful

My wife and me just finished a 4 day trip to Varanasi . Stayed at Hilton in Pandeypur - Fab Hotel, Took a rickshaw everyday to the Ghats and walked around the streets and the temples . So Colourful , Very vibrant and noisy .the place needs to be experienced to understand the feeling . There is an element of safety that you would compromise if you chose to stay in a unknown place but you cannot go wrong if its the Taj or the Hilton and take informed decisions in going around and not be too adventurous . Dont miss Sarnath too !
