Roobaroo Walks

Kite flying is a super popular sport in Varanasi. With space being a constraint, kids have made the sky their playground :) #KiteFlying #Varanasi #InterestingFolks #WalkingTours #RoobarooWalks

Despite being among the oldest living cities in the world, you can always expect someone doing something new here, almost everyday! Came across these adventurous folks doing river paddling the other day :) #ForeverBecoming #Varanasi #Ganga #WalkingTours #RoobarooWalks

Winters are here to add still more colour to Varanasi✨ #Morning #Varanasi #WalkingTours #RoobarooWalks

Dev Diwali - The night when Varanasi is dressed like a bride, as millions of lamps are lit up all along the 6.5 kms stretch of ghats. A night they say even Gods descend on Earth to witness. And a wonderful excuse to re-establish the beauty of ghats after the monsoons :)  #Varanasi #WalkingTours #RoobarooWalks

Duality, perhaps the coolest means in which nature manifests is something best observed in Varanasi - be it Chaos & Peace, Filth & Beauty, Touts & some of the most amazing people you'll ever meet or Life & Death.  #Varanasi #WalkingTours #RoobarooWalks

" My lady Kashi, Picks up the Ganga mirror To see her gracious beauty, Glimmer and shine." -Mirza Ghalib (translated from the poem Chirag-e-Dair that Ghalib composed for Varanasi) #Varanasi #WalkingTours #RoobarooWalks

Kingfishers are among the most beautiful birds to be spotted along the banks of Ganga in Varanasi. And watching them fish is one of the most splendid sights, as they hover over water to spot the fish, and eventually dive in a free fall to catch their prey in their long beaks! Here's one contently sitting with his price possession :) #RoobarooWalks #Varanasi #WalkingTours

   Ashutosh ji, urf Mouni Baba, lives in an 8X10 ft house by the Ganga ghats with upto 10 stray pups and kittens at most times, whom he nurses and feeds whenever they're in need. He has a Go-Pro camera which he loves using, and has observed a moun vrat (a vow of silence) for over 5 years at one point! Definitely among the coolest people we've met in Varanasi :)  #Sadhus #InterestingFolks #Ganga #LifeOnGhats #RoobarooWalks #WalkingTours #Varanasi

Just another morning on the busy ghats of Varanasi #Ghats #RoobarooWalks #Varanasi #WalkingTours

Camels in a Taziya procession during Muharram.  Often referred to as the cradle of Hinduism, Varanasi actually has a 24% Muslim population, and a decent representation of  Sikhs, Jains and Christians as well. And most of them like to refer to themselves as Banarasis before their religious ethnicities :) #Taziya #Muharram #PeacefulCoexistence #Peace #Love Visit our website at www.roobaroowalks.com #RoobarooWalks #MustSee #Varanasi #HeritageWalks  #Roobaroo #WalkingTours Roobaroo Walks 'Soulful city tours'.
