Things to do in Varanasi with locals

Uttar Pradesh, India

October brings the vibrant Ramlila of Ramnagar, the world's oldest running theatrical performance, alongside crisp evening weather perfect for the Ganga Aarti. The post-monsoon river levels stabilize, allowing for scenic and spiritual boat rides along the historic ghats.

Why meet Varanasi locals instead of booking a tour

BeMyLocal pairs travellers with people who actually live in Varanasi — for a shared meal, a festival, a morning walk or simply directions that no guidebook carries. Every member passes a selfie and email check before they can host, and anyone can be reported or blocked from chat. Read more about how we keep meet-ups safe.
