A journey to Varanasi is incomplete without indulging in its unique vegetarian cuisine and understanding the best time to visit Varanasi Tour Packages. Travoperk offers essential tips to make your trip both delicious and comfortable.
? The Flavour of Banaras: Must-Try Local Delicacies
Varanasi's street food is an experience in itself. Your Travoperk package guide will lead you to the most authentic spots:
- Banarasi Paan: The city's legendary preparation of betel leaf, a sweet, post-meal treat.
- Malaiyo: A winter-exclusive delicacy—frothy, saffron-infused milk foam that melts in your mouth.
- Kachori Sabzi Jalebi: The quintessential Banarasi breakfast.
- Tamatar Chaat: A spicy, tangy local specialty made with tomatoes, mashed potatoes, and spices.
Travoperk Tip: The food around the ghats is predominantly vegetarian and alcohol-free, in line with the city's spiritual sanctity.
? The Best Time to Book Your Spiritual Trip
The ideal time to visit Varanasi is during the winter months (October to March). The weather is pleasantly cool, making it perfect for long walks along the ghats and the early morning boat ride.
- Avoid: The extreme heat and humidity of the summer months (April to June) and the heavy monsoon season (July to September).
- Festive Highlights: If your travel dates align with Dev Deepawali (the festival of lights for the Gods, celebrated 15 days after Diwali), your trip will be transformed by millions of diyas illuminating the ghats—a truly unforgettable sight!
? Varanasi Travel Essentials
- Dress Code: Wear modest clothing, especially when visiting temples and sacred sites. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for navigating the ghats and alleys.
- Navigating: The Old City's lanes are best explored on foot or by e-rickshaw. Negotiate the price with auto and cycle-rickshaw drivers beforehand.
