Varanasi was my first solo city in India so it's defined a bit of GRRRL TRAVELER's travel vibe. It's my fave city in India. This is my Varanasi Travel Guide of top attractions in Varanasi. The city of Varanasi is a wild ride but with the holy Ganges River, it's a top Hindu pilgrimage spot for Hindus who come to take blessings and to send off their dearly departed for their final cycle of life.
Written Version of Varanasi Travel Guide is posted on my blog, where I always post DIY travel info from my trip to help travelers plan their own trip. It will be posted in a week or two: grrrltraveler.com/countries/asia/india-asia/varanasi-travel-guide/
For those interested in my camera gear, my Kit is here: kit.com/grrrltravelere
See what I and your other fave RUclipsrs are gearing up with!

Nice 🙏🙏🙏
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa Thanks. I like you 🙏❤️
U know nothing about varanasi .i am happy to see this and keep it up love u r ignorance .😡😡😡👍👍👍
Love Varanasi. Fortunate to have been here in March. Sunrise & Sunset 🌅 on the Ganges was life changing. I will return next year without doubt, I miss this place so much, the noise, smells are surreal & you just have to go there to understand The spirit of Varanasi.
The oldest City in the world... The atmosphere of the Varanasi I love it
Im going to India next year. Varanasi is top of my list of places I want to go. I may spend a few days there. I can't wait.
Your Indian videos are the best! So glad you keep going back. You're my favorite travel vlogger, along with Gabriel Traveler.
+Roberto Audiffred Aww ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ India. My trips there never feel long enough!
Will have to check out Gabriel's channel sometime. 🤗
I am from banaras (Varanasi)
Just loving it
Perfect timing, Christine! I head to Varanasi tomorrow. Now that I have seen your video I am really excited about all that I will experience. Thank you so much or all you do! You are inspiring solo women travelers around the world!
+Melissa Fitch Hope you enjoyed Varanasi!!! 😁🙏
Every temple she goes, she says it is her favourite temple! Nice video, keep it up!
This is the most enjoyable Varanasi video I saw on internet. Thank you
Awww. I’m so glad you appreciate it!
I proud. Bcoz i live in Varanasi
Love Varanasi it is a amazing city definitely my favourite city in India 2nd is Udaipur
Great that you covered Varanasi . Hope you loved it . Visit again :) Namaste .
I'm from Varanasi...... love to watched this video.... Lot's of love!!!!!!
Hi bro
I’m from Andhra Pradesh
I got central govt job and my first posting is Varanasi
Can I adjust there basing upon food , culture ...
Say few words about Varanasi
but thanks for showing the durga mandir 😍😍👍whenever i go any temple at all its always a devi temple #JaiMataDi ❤❤🙏🙏🙏
It's a beautiful temple! #JaiMataDi ... what is the Di part? =D
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa di is punjabi and means ki in hindi.. Jai Mata Ki. Hail the Goddess :)
I have to learn. Thank you for teaching me this!
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa :))
Loved seeing all of the interactions with the locals! Great job!
How amazing! Thank you for sharing! India can come across as intimidating, especially for a solo female traveler. I have plans to go there in the next few years and your videos have been wonderful to watch. I've seen other travelers who seem to just rush through the areas. I appreciate that you stop and show places and people and even talk to the locals. Thanks for sharing the culture!
+Rebecca You're welcome! Enjoy India. It's truly incredible !
Nice video Christine. If I ever win the lottery I would be in Varanasi.
Thank you for making these videos! I'm studying abroad in India for 5 weeks next January and watching these videos gets me extra excited
You're very welcome! That's gonna be a wickedly special opportunity. So cool!
Advisory to all foreign travellers intending to visit India:
40% area is clean, 60% is not. Work is in progress.
Hi i am from Varanasi ❤ it's good see that you have enjoyed visite here ! Thanks for this beautiful video 🤗 Namaste 🙏
Just came back. My first visit to Varanasi. Loved it! This video gives a good impression of the experience, which is almost undoable to truly share. Thank you for making this video.
varanasi people are amaizing ...i love them...been there once will visit again soon
Loved this. I’ve been to India but not Varanasi. That is one place I really need to immerse myself in.
Ah, Varanasi. The complex and confounding mix of past and present, of ancient traditions mixed with modern amenities. So easy to lose yourself in it.
I imagine it must have been a bit of a culture shock when you visited for the first time.
+Dream Walker yeah. My first impression years ago- , I hated it and looked for the next flight out and a Hilton away from the dirtiness of the ghats. I was alone in the weirdest city in India.😱😱😱 Then i met a traveler who told me you have to give the city time "Varanasi has a sense of humor and i fell in love with it. "
Second day I desperately looked for that humor. True- Everything once scary seemed humorous, unique, hardcore and raw in an honest way. It gave way to a dizzying feeling of carnival fun drenched with reverent spiritual beauty. A stronger pulse of life. Now it's like a sweet and warm drug that calls to me 🕉
I'm grateful to the traveler who advised me and I always give cities a chance before forming impressions. 🌷
Did you find the ghats clean this time? Clean India campaign is still going on.
Amazing that’s my hometown mam 😊
+Akash Patel your home is one of my fave fave fave cities!
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa pleasure mam 👍
Akash Patel namashkar baisaab
Thank you Christine, very interesting video, Jerome from Florida
LOL...I love the traffic! Great update and can't wait to see more updates of Varanasi.
+Fred Hixon I love the traffic too!!! This is the final Varanasi video, although i'm considering a travel tips video on it. =D
I will wait for the travel tips video. Can you recommend a pair of convertible shorts? I am going to Thailand and wearing a sarong to go into a Buddhist temple is not an option...LOL.
This video inspired me to travel Varanasi and i did this April, planning to visit on Dev Dipawali again ❤️🙏
Ooooh snap! You’ve got my India travel juices flowing. I’ve made a few trips to India and Nepal, however Covid has shut down traveling for me here. I’m a female solo traveler living in the USA. Punjab is on my next to go to place. But I’ve also wanted to head to Varanasi. You mentioned airfare is very cheap from state to state within India, I’ve never done a dual city trip before so you have definitely inspired me to try and make my next vacation to do both Punjab and Varanasi. Love your channel! A good find! 💖👍😁
Glad it helps! I’d love to visit more of the Punjab region too.
I might be organizing a group trip this fall if vaccines keep rolling out🤞🤞🤞Not sure if Varanasi will be on the itinerary yet. If interested check out my community tab for the latest update!
That was another good one. Really want to get to Varanasi but I'll have to make it next time. (I'm in Madurai right now.) I agree with what one of your other fans said: you and Gabriel Traveler are the very best India travel vloggers. Loved all that early morning ghats footage!
+Jmalmed Awww that's so sweet of you! Madurai had a wicked temple! Hope you enjoyed. 😊 How long?
Yeah, the Meenakshi Temple. It was truly humbling. I wasn't there long enough, unfortunately, just a week in and around Madurai and two more throughout the rest of Tamil Nadu. I'll be back though. I've only just barely glossed the surface of this country and need to see more. Until then, here's hoping you post more India videos!
Hi Grrrltraveler, you do great job on your vlogs. Very professional and polished! Keep up the good work!
Loving the vlogs
Knew subscriber here 😀
From Canada
Best Place varanasi Temple city.good video👍💯💖😍
I saw several video's about varanasi.very good video.my last life time l wish to spend Varanasi. I from 3000 k.m away from the place. thank you.
You're so amazing. I'll never have the courage to travel anywhere by myself, watching your videos is both exciting and worrying lol I'm always hoping you're okay.
Great video, travelling solo for 6 weeks myself in India soon and Varanasi is on the list, some great tips here!
+mark fl 6 weeks-- enjoy every bit of it. It goes by fast! 😁❤️
Hi Christine,
Thanks for all the hard work. Your videos have been entertaining, informative, and inspiring. In just a few weeks I will be starting my first trip to India (going to Turkey and Nepal first). Your work has been a big help during the planning and preparation and is much appreciated.
Thanks again,
Keith Passmore
Wow~ super excited for you Keith! You'll have an amazing time in all those countries, I'm envious. A lot to take in one trip... will it be a few months? =D
I'm planning on traveling for almost a year: 3 weeks in Turkey, 3 months in Nepal, 4-5 months in India, then (assuming either my funds or will to travel have not dried up) Thailand, Cambodia, ...? I'm going to start traveling east and keep going east until I hit the U.S. again.
This is my first trip to the East and may not get another chance, so I'm going to make it count. I've been seriously preparing for this trip for about a year (been wanting to go much, much longer), and your videos have been most helpful.
Keith
Traffic jam in Varanasi, its experience itself can be a tourist attraction.
The music matches the vibe with this city, great choice! i wanna visit varanasi at least once and try a banarasi pan!
It's so hard finding India inspired music for free. When i found the music for this, I had to save it for this Varanasi vid!
I've seen the pan often in the ghat area-- is it safe for women ? What makes it different from betel nut?
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa Paan is sold all over India in small shops by Paanwalas, and there are various varieties of it, some of them known after the cities like Banarasi and Kalkatta. Paan is actually a Hindi word for leaf and this one is a eatable betel leaf. Betel nut is one of many ingredients folded into Paan, I guess it's harmful along with other ingredients like Tobacco and slaked lime so many people are addicted to it and have it for like 3-4 times a day. But the one Paan which I really love is the sweet Paan which can be eaten by everyone as well as kids too and has no such ingredients listed above. This one has rose jam, cherries , sweet coconut and many more things which I remember eating as a dessert in the childhood. Even though Banarasi n Kalkatta paans are maybe harmful( I don't know, I might be wrong but I have heard once you eat them you feel like you're drunk) I wanna try them at least once because of their popularity.
ooh, one that children eat? I'd like to try that too then! You wouldn't know the name?
not particularly children, anyone can eat that, i just tried to say that there's something which is available for everyone at a panwala who is popular for selling things like tobacco, cigs and a lots of pans. I suppose it's called meetha paan or masala paan. Also there are chances of them adding betel nuts into it, so u can tell them that you wouldn't like those nuts in your meetha paan.

Om Namah Shiva
Christine 😘🤟You’re gave me bravery to travel on my owe to Kolkata, India. And I loved it. Now, I’m thinking Varanasi 😍 thank you so much for your well videos and travel blog ❤️🇨🇦 love ya grrrl.
+Diana Of Markham Yaaaaaay!!! Woot girl. Vns is gonna be a little more gritty intense and nutty. First time I hated it and by day 3 I was in love. Read my travel guide for tips on common scams. ❤️🙏
Thank you. This is very helpful for someone like me who's highly interested in someday visiting Varanasi.
Thank you so much for your beautiful and informative video. I always wanted to visit Varanasi and nearby. Now I feel like I have been there. ❤😊
I was waiting for this!
yasss. Hope it was worth the wait! xo
"How long you rowing boat?" Haha Loved the ending! Cool to see the ghats and around the city. Thanks for the tour!
+Notes of Nomads haha. I like the " I'm photographer man" bit. He was a good sport. Thanks for watching!❤️😁
Nice, I did take a dip in the river, because I walked trough some really dirty stuff. Indeed Varanasi one of the most exciting towns in India. Enjoyed the video very much, thanks.
Oooh, you're brave. You were blessed in many ways! ;)
I hope so. Still alive and yearning for India.
+Robert Yay!🇮🇳
Yes, India Forever.
My lovely city Varanasi 😊
Amo como visten las mujeres de la India mi próximo viaje a la India ✨💖
i wish i was U.P. minister president. i'd have this place so tidied up and running and pretty. banaras could be the most beautiful city in the world..
Someone commented that UP is teaming with Japanese to clean up the city??? With over 2 billion visitors annually the city should have money, but all those daily crowds and pujas might make cleaning a challenge. They should open employment in the city and designate city/ghat/waste cleaners. =)
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa yeah and with israel and america. the plans are great.. it just has to happen already..
Well, the first step is progress. Second step is a test of commitment and follow through. Sure would be nice to see a cleaner Varanasi!
+Rahul M 🤞
Some great info and visuals here Chris. Thankyou.
You're welcome!
Wow it's my city Varanasi 😂hey ma'am you should be go to Sarnath it's also beautiful
Your city has stolen my heart. It's my fave city in India. Sarnath- next visit. ;)
@abhishek
1)Need to educate people visiting your city not to throw garbage or litter on streets and ghats. Cleanliness highly required. You can help in this.
2) Dogs, cows, buffalos etc need to be removed from streets and put up in nice enclosed area where they can roam and feed freely. Govt needs to do this.
3) Ban horns on 2 and 4 wheelers
4) Wash and clean streets. Concretize muddy areas.
abhishek jaiswal you are right bro sarnath is also very good place in varanasi its little bit far away from my home
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa Sarnath is also in Varanasi+ur in assi
Please do a video on the hotels/guest houses you stayed over for every city
Will be passing through Rajasthan, Delhi, Varanasi and Darjeeling in October. Where along these areas do you suggest I should be for Diwali?
Video thumbs upped!
I just posted a written post on my blog with more information on Diwali. It depends upon what you want to experience of Diwali.
Any Indian's here have recommendations?
Delhi and Varanasi is where you'll get the full blast, so to speak, but both will be crowded with tourist season at its peak. If you're a city kid who can handle crowds, I'd say go with one of the two. In fact, I'd say go with Varanasi.
Otherwise, go with Rajasthan or Darjeeling. I suppose much of it depends upon your travel schedule. If this is your first time travelling to India, make sure to check what dates Diwali falls on this year in advance.
This might help.

+Dream Walker Thanks for sharing this!!
Dream Walker Working on my itinerary, looks like Varanasi will in perfectly. Thanks for the advice.
mopore Christine Kaaloa No problem. Glad to be of help.
Love it, hoping to travel India next year
Do it~ Trip of a lifetime! ;)
love the place
Parabéns adorei a sua cidade e adorei pela maneira despresa

Great work again Christine, keep it up :)
Thanks for the love, Jon! xoxo
You are an INSPIRATION !
+Agota Horvath Thank you for giving me a unicorn moment 🦄 ❤️🌟
Varanasi my favourite place! Interesting video!🤗🤗🤗
- Ohh this makes me want to visit so much.
#bucketlist
Bam bam bolea...
Bam bam bolea...
Hmmm Just wanna go there.
I'm currently ald banaras highway ,returning back form Varanasi..
How waaaaas your trip? Long stay?
no just gave Police exam near BHU visited Kashi vishwanath Temple and back
So lovely but better focus to cleanliness too
We all are working on it but its really a very difficult challenge to make Varanasi clean because many peoples use to come here from all over the world and its not a surprising point that varanasi is a bit dirty city because it is a very crowded area . And where ever the human will go so he will definitely make that place dirty because it is the nature of the humans .
I hope u will understand my point and thanks for sharing your opinion.
Edit: Have a beautiful life ahead!
I love Varanasi kashi har har Mahadev
Dera Christine thank you for this beautiful video. I am planning a trip to Kathmandu Delhi and Varanasi for July. I was wondering if these amazing images belong to the month of July as the date suggest. I am a little afraid the summer monsoon can flood everything but these images are very beautiful. Thank you
I went during Diwali 🪔
Very nice video. 👍
best of luck my friend mick out in India
lol that ending thou boatwoman
You took a private boat tour also with Brown Bread Bakery? How can I find/contact your boat man? I would like to have a nice experience as you did. Thank you
Love your videos!
wasn't expecting the last part Hahaha so did your enjoy your short stint as a boatwoman? lol
+Leah Luna Think I should consider a career change ? 🚣🚣🚣🚣
Although, no tips in India. 😜
GRRRLTRAVELER | Christine Kaaloa hmmmmmm let's just say that you're better at travel vlogging 😝😅😂
Those are probably the happiest cows in the world. No worries about being turned into beef. That man that is drinking water out of the Ganges needs to have his head examined. Bodies of pregnant women and lepers I think the man mentioned are dumped into the river yet he is drinking?
Wayne, you're funny and you don't miss a thing! ~ ha ha
:)
The people there are used to it. It doesn't affect them at all.
+Dream Walker Westerners 😱😮 😳; Indians 😴🙄😐
@Wayne
The bodies are taken far away and then dumped. Still a very ignorant and regressive ritual. Needs to be banned immediately.
And obviously, drinking the water should be avoided 100%. The people are extremely ignorant, believing old stories 'drinking the water will wash away all your sins' etc.
Need to see more of you..
@grrrltraveler what is your camera setup if I may?
Pls see links in description box. There’s a link to my full equipment list on my blog 💕
Vivaa Brasil 🇧🇷 Rio de janeiro 🥰❤️
Nomami Gangey
Nice video !

Respected sir, can you please provide me some origional videos clips of varanasi. Please !!
I love the music! What is it?
Ok
Awesome

Heading there next week for 5 days. Do you think that's too long?
Loveee your videos...super informative! How do I contact Suraj? Going to Varanasi early December. Thank you!
Suraj is a friend of the family I was staying with and he is no longer in Vns
As usual video
Always
6:29 this is banaras 😜😂😂❤👌
nice work
Next time when you come in India please come in Bihar(land of Budha)
varanasi is famous for gangeji arati
Didn't know my city is this much famous 😑
Nice vedio 🙏
PM Modi's swatcha bharat abhayan (cleanliness drive program) couldn't make people understand about cleanliness that's the only sad part.
As usual videotape
🙏❤️
whats the name of the first music ?
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Not being able to find the flower market😔
