]]>Varanasi is full of markets dedicated to food, fabrics, Indian spices, vegetables, and more. The city also has many ancient temples, sacred to the Hindu religion common in the area.
One of the special attractions of the city is an early morning cruise on the magnificent Holy Ganges. The river is used by the residents for every need, including bathing, drinking water, and bathing of one of the buffalo herds living in the city. It is a strange experience to see the townspeople bathing in the river and brushing their teeth alongside a herd of buffalo bathing next to them.
The river also serves as a cremation point sacred to the Hindu religion that takes place along the bank. Watching a ceremony can be hard for some people, and a great deal of cultural and religious context is required to contain it. Visiting the spot is not recommended when traveling with small children.
In the city, you can buy some of the best textile products in the world, and the local postal services offer home delivery services, so your new silk sheets will be waiting for you when you return from your trip.

]]>Well, Iguazu Falls and Niagara Falls might be more famous and well-known, but there isn’t a bigger waterfall that you can visit than Victoria Falls.
Fed by the Zambezi River, during the rainy season, the sheet of water that falls at Victoria Falls is unrivaled in the world. It isn’t the tallest nor the widest waterfall in the world, but its overall volume is the largest. It’s over a mile wide and 350 feet tall, however, so it’s certainly a massive sight to see.
Visitors that go to Victoria Falls can see the falls from the perspective of both African countries that house it.
On the Zambian side, you can visit the Knife’s Edge Bridge, which provides a spectacular viewpoint of the falls and also bathes you in mist from the falls. Also, here is the location of Devil’s Pool, a place where daring visitors can jump into the water just before the fall. The geology of the rocks of these natural pools prevents visitors from cascading over the edge.
The Zimbabwean side is generally considered to have the better viewpoints in of the two countries. Also, the Zimbabwean town of Victoria Falls is also considered to have better lodging options and other attractions for visitors. The Zimbabwean side is the gateway to visit the falls.
Try to go in spring or early summer if you can, when the falls are roaring at full capacity. You’ll never forget this experience.
