Photo by @jodymacdonaldphoto // Varanasi, one of the oldest living cities in the world. It is situated on the western bank of the Ganges River and extends beyond the riverbank into a melting pot of religion and culture. If you ever make your way here make sure to get a ferryman to take you on a boat ride at sunrise. A great way to slow down from the hustle and bustle of the city and get a different perspective. You will pass the ancient ghats, smell the fragrance of incense from the morning offerings, hear the sound of temple bells and witness the city coming to life. One of the many unique and wonderful experiences that India has to offer. @natgeocreative
