Varanasi families recognise Pashupatinath at once: a great Shiva temple on a sacred river, with cremation ghats — Arya Ghat on the Bagmati — much like Manikarnika on the Ganga. For many Banaras pilgrims, Pashupatinath is the reason for the trip.

We pick you up in Varanasi; Gorakhpur is about four hours away by road.
