    Local Breakfast: After the boat ride we walk into the old lanes for a traditional Varanasi breakfast. This is a small local street famous for kachori, chai and sweets. Here you experience everyday life rather than a tourist restaurant.
  2. Manikarnika Ghat
    30m
    A respectful visit to the main cremation ground. I explain the Hindu view of death, rebirth and liberation. This is an educational experience — not sensational or intrusive.
