Delhi to Varanasi Flights

India's spiritual capital is Varanasi, referred to as Banaras or Kashi (City of Life), the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. It is one of the seven sacred towns in Hinduism. Scattered in a maze of tiny galis, the ancient city of Varanasi is located along the western banks of the Ganges. Varanasi is surrounded by temples at nearly every corner, but the most well-known and oldest of them is the Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

Benaras is appropriately called the city of Lord Shiva for a reason. One of the defining aspects of the city is the 80 ghats along the Ganges, where the daily life of the city transpires against rituals, ceremonies, and religious activities.

In Varanasi, summertime brings high, dry temperatures. Summers are best avoided as they are hot, dry, and sunny, making it impossible to go sightseeing outside.

The winter months are ideal for visiting Varanasi because of the amazing weather that greatly enhances the city's splendour, but the monsoons are a welcome change of pace with moderate to intense rainfall.
