A must do trip! Would recommend thoroughly - go at sunrise for beautiful views and fewer crowds. Can’t wait to go back one day

In early February, we visited Agra Fort in the afternoon, dedicating about an hour to explore this historic site. Accompanied by a private guide, we delved into the fort's rich history, which we found both captivating and informative. Navigating the fort was straightforward, though it was quite crowded during our visit. The architecture and design were impressive; however, it's worth noting that a significant portion of the fort is closed to the public, as it is currently utilized by the Indian Army. This limitation restricted access to many areas, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, we would rate our experience 4 out of 5 stars.

Sarnath is 30 mins away from Varanasi. It is one of the main sacred sites in all of Buddhism. Here you’ll find a great audio tour! 10/10 recommended

Visiting the Ganges River in Varanasi is a unique experience, filled with spirituality and tradition 🌊🙏. The ghats are bustling with people offering prayers, and the sights are mesmerizing. However, the river is quite polluted, with trash and waste visible in the water 💧🗑️. Despite this, the energy and significance of the place are undeniable. It’s a mix of beauty and struggle, where faith meets reality. Definitely a must-see, but be prepared for the dirtiness!

Walk along the Ganges all the way to the Asi Ghat, which is basically the southernmost river altar in Varanasi. You can watch the sunrise and sunset of the Ganges here. The famous Ganges Night Festival is also nearby at night, which is a wonderful thing not to be missed. The riverside is as dirty and messy as always, but this is also the characteristic of the Ganges. Many pilgrims bathe here, and you can also take a boat to watch the scenery on the shore and the sunrise and sunset.
