    Take a day trip to the Chunar Fort, an ancient fort located on a hilltop near the city of Varanasi. The fort is known for its historical significance and scenic views. Trek to the top of the fort and enjoy the panoramic views of the Ganges and the surrounding countryside. After the trek, visit the Ramnagar Fort, a beautiful palace located on the eastern bank of the Ganges River.

  3. Day 3: White Water Rafting on the Ganges River
    1 hour 30 minutes (40 miles) from Ramnagar Fort

    Spend your last day in Varanasi white water rafting on the Ganges River. Experience the thrill of rafting through the rapids and the calm stretches of the river.

Recommendations

If you have extra time, visit the Dhamekh Stupa, another famous Buddhist site in Sarnath. Take a side trip to the nearby city of Allahabad, which is famous for the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of three rivers.
