Varanasi Diaries: Where the River Meets the Chaos
varanasi, you're a city that doesn't let you sleep. it's 28.65 degrees right now, feels like 27.64, which is basically 'why is my shirt sticking to my back like a second skin?' humidity's at 31%, which means the air itself is sweating. i just checked and it's... there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. if you get bored, lucknow's just a train ride away, or maybe you'll get lost in the lanes forever. someone told me that the ghats at dawn are magical, but also that the monkeys are plotting world domination. i heard that the street food here can either make you or break you - literally, sometimes. *ghats, monkeys, street food, monsoon, chaos, devotion, dust. it's all part of the package.
check out what the internet says: tripadvisor varanasi hotels if you need a place to hide from the chaos, or yelp varanasi restaurants if you're brave enough to face the street food*.
this place? it's not for the faint of heart. it's for the curious, the hungry, the slightly insane. it's for anyone who wants to feel alive, even if it means sweating through their clothes and dodging monkeys. it's messy. it's loud. it's holy. it's home. tags: travel, varanasi, human, vibe, messy
