Varanasi
Varanasi, in India, is one of the most important cities in all of India and is one of the most continuously inhabited areas in the world. From the moment I got off the train, I was excited to start exploring this fascinating place. But unlike Bangkok or Delhi, where there are many different and famous attractions, Varanasi is less a leap from one famous site to another, but rather an absorption in the ancient city and the observation of people, ceremonies and life general (and death) is so obvious.
Just exploring the narrow alleys and observing things along the mystical Ganges river is more than enough to keep you occupied and fascinated during your visit to Varanasi. Be sure to also check out my Varanasi travel guide for more tips on visiting the city. Every evening at the Main Ghat is held the Pooja Ceremony, an exhibition conducted by Brahmins dedicated to Lord Shiva and the Ganga river. It starts around 18:00 in the evening and attracts a large crowd of Hindus and tourists every night.
Many people stand alone along with the ghat steps, but others jump in the boat to see the ceremony from the water. Brahmins go through a series of rituals that include a lot of incense, fire, movements, ringing of bells, and loud music in the background. It is certainly worth seeing at least once when you visit Varanasi.
Khajuraho
For those looking for a rich history and cultural portraits dating back several centuries, there are more than enough places to visit in Khajuraho to satiate your curiosity. When the hustle and bustle of modern days make you feel exhausted and detached, it counts on a journey full of history and fascinating traditions of past eras to rekindle your curiosity and capture your senses. Located just 175 km from Jhansi, the city of Khajuraho is one of Madhya Pradesh's most popular travel destinations. The city is largely celebrated for its beautiful and ancient temples that bear some of the best forms of temple art.
Almost all these wonderful temples were built from and during the reign of the Chandela dynasty, ie between 950 and 1050 AD, The temples bring magnificent depictions of meditation, spiritual teachings, and erotic sculptures, making them a UNESCO World Heritage Site! There are numerous tourist sites in Khajuraho, mainly temples, which are classified into 3 groups: western group of temples, eastern group of temples, and southern group of temples.

Our Guest Elena de Rosa review
I made my first trip to India relying on the skills of Maneesh from the Ciao India Tours agency for organizing my entire tour. It was one of the best trips I made, I was afraid as I traveled alone with my daughter … instead, everything was perfect. Since the arrival, Om, our first guide was waiting for us at the airport.
Outside Sunder, who I elected as the best driver of my travels, he welcomed us with seriousness and professionalism. The booked Hotels are excellent results with qualified staff. Om our guide is a lovely man with a beautiful family that we got to know. Almost at the end of our tour, we met and appreciated Amit, a handsome Indian boy, educated and prepared to answer my many questions.
I regretted not knowing personally Maneesh, but for this, there is no problem I will definitely come back to see these "three musketeers" that I had the honor and pleasure of meeting and … D'Artagthe cities visited beautiful, the explanation / Maneesh hahaha. The trip was pleasant, s during the complete tours, Thank you all, I carry you in my heart, I recommend to all those who want to visit this wonderful country to contact the agency.
Review of our guest Roberto Zallio
For us, this was the second trip we take with them. Last year we did the Golden Triangle Delhi, Agra, Jaipur,.The Mystical and Incredible Varanasi, and the unforgettable magic Ladakh where we left a bit of heart, with the Nubra valley, the Buddhist monasteries and retracing the Silk Road.
This year we have just returned from India, we have chosen them again ….. a 22-day journey started together with them walking through the markets of Delhi (for a tourist hard to find) buying spices and delicacies. Then by train to Amritsar with the unforgettable Golden Temple, the changing of the guard on the border with Pakistan.
Then the very colorful Calcutta, not only the home of Saint Mother Teresa ….. but the flower market, walk across one of the longest suspension bridges in the world, venture out with their magnificent guide to potters' quarters … .and surrounded by locals happy to take dozens and dozens of photos with us.
Then the beautiful Kerala Fort Kochi with Chinese nets, eating fish on the beach in the evening, walking among the plantations of you (pity the persistent rain) sailing to Alleppy, and sleeping on the boat. Finally Mumbai ….. must not look with eyes but live it with the heart …. beautiful experience made to walk in what they call slums (the largest in Asia) ….. we think the richer than splendid humanity. The only advice I can give ….. trust them
