Varanassi in late July

Norpan · Jul 1st, 2009, 08:37

Hi,

Would you reccommend to visit Varanassi in the end of July around the 22 of July?

Thanks,

Ellie

Hi Norpan

Vatanasi will be really hot in July, have any alternatives? Give us some more specifics!

Hi,

Yes, I am mostly worried about the ghats being flooded due to moonsoon?

We will still land in Delhi on the 17 July but maybe go to Jaipur instead - what do you think?

Appreciate your help!

Cheers,

Ellie

Depending on the year, the ghats may or may not be affected enough to throw your plans off. I was there in late July several years ago, the water was rising but did nothing to bother me or my enjoyment of Varanasi. If I were you, I'd go; Varanasi is a must.

Norpan,

In case you have not heard already, early on the morning of the 22nd of July, visible in Varanasi, will be a total solar eclipse. Definitely a plus, in my book. I will be in Varanasi myself for a few days on either side of it.
