Photography Tour in Varanasi

Free Photography Tour in Varanasi with Roamee Pro

Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided photography tour route in Varanasi. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Ghats of the Ganges River — over 80 stone stairways descending to the sacred Ganges where millions bathe, pray, and cremate their dead in an unbroken 3,000-year-old tradition, Ganga Aarti Ceremony at Dashashwamedh Ghat — a nightly fire ritual where priests swing flaming brass lamps in synchronized choreography as thousands watch from boats and steps, Kashi Vishwanath Temple — one of Hinduism's twelve jyotirlinga shrines dedicated to Shiva, rebuilt in 1780 with 800 kg of gold plating on its tower, plus hidden gems like Assi Ghat — a quieter ghat at the southern end where locals practice yoga and music at dawn, with a more relaxed atmosphere and Ramnagar Fort — an 18th-century fort of the Kashi Naresh across the river with a museum of vintage cars, weaponry, and costumes.
