Varanasi. Banaras. Kashi. The 'Holy City'...the spiritual hub of India. No matter what you call it, Varanasi is the India of your dreams.
One of the oldest, continually habited cities in the world, Varanasi isn't for the faint-hearted. It's raw and in-your-face, with it's 24/7 cremations on the burning ghats and chaotic streets and crazy smells, you will be a better person for facing it.
Rather than give you a blow by blow description of our adventure, I'm going to leave you with this photo essay of a day in the life of Varanasi. I hope you enjoy it.

We flew to India for an absolute bargain price with Air Asia. The money we saved on airfares allowed us to stay longer and travel further.
I took two small Fujifilm cameras and three lenses. That's all the camera gear I needed. It all fit into a shoulder bag! You can read more about my gear at Fujifilm Cameras Australia.

As a government employee by day my job is to work within strict parameters and think ‘inside the square’. Photography is in stark contrast to this, requiring patience and creativity, something I have had to learn. A (very) late bloomer in the field of photography I envied the ease at which my wife could compose a photo; yet she struggled with camera settings, so I took over in order to document our travel adventures. Four years on I can’t believe people actually like my photos.
