Off the Beaten Path - Season 9 Episode 1 India: Varanasi
Varanasi is a historic city in India’s Uttar Pradesh, located along the sacred Ganges River. With over 1.7 million residents, most of whom are Hindu, it is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and a major spiritual centre.
Bustling and deeply traditional, Varanasi offers a unique glimpse into India’s past and remains one of the country’s most visited destinations.
This spiritual atmosphere drew Lucia from Slovakia here ten years ago. While she doesn’t live here full time, she helps run a small guesthouse with her friend Sachin.
With Lucia, we explore narrow alleyways, learn about Hindu traditions from a cremation ghat caretaker, take part in a river ritual, and taste local dishes and spices.
