Varanasi- The religious capital of India, which is considered older than history, is situated on the banks of the most sacred Ganges River.

Varanasi attracts tourists from all over the world every year. Tourism plays a vital role in developing the lifestyle of the local people and creating employment opportunities. Nowadays, the tourism industry and the hospitality sector are going through a difficult phase, rather we should procrastinate ourselves to adjust with this CoViD outbreak. As this is a temporary damage for us, things are going to recover once again. And we will rise with renewed spirit and great enthusiasm. But still as a tourism freak, a friend of mine has presented a new way to see Varanasi and its culture and cuisines.
