There is certainly something special about Varanasi that keeps me pulling back again and again. It is so exciting to experience the true spiritual atmosphere of Varanasi. Elvin Siew Chun Wai said in his vlog that he loves sailing on the River Ganges. Every ghat situated on River Ganges tells a story. Many ghats are hundreds of years old and they were built by kings and queens during medieval age.
The magic of ghats
One of my favorite experiences is spending time at the ghats, said Elvin. I can sit near the ghats for several hours. It is so exciting and at the same time very relaxing. Many Indians still follow the path of spirituality. You can find sadhus and sages who have renounced the world. Many pilgrims, priests and local residents start their day by taking a bath in the River Ganges. Elvin Siew Chun Wai said in his vlog that it was surprising for him to see the presence of many foreigners.
