We have a curated list of some off the radar places to visit in Varanasi:
Nandeshwar Ghat
Nandeshwar is a favorite spot for Bollywood directors. The ghat has a small akhada and a beautiful old haveli. According to records, more than 50 movies have been shot on the premises, including biggies like Masaan, Super 30, and Half Girlfriend.
Tomb of Lal Khan
The Tomb of Lal Khan is among the few offbeat and unexplored places in the holy city. The mausoleum belongs to a Mughal noble named Lal Khan, and the architecture is simply gorgeous.
Pink Temple, Sarnath
The Pink Temple is an architectural delight and a new addition to Buddha temples in Sarnath. The temple features a massive pink-colored statue of Lord Buddha, called the most beautiful in the country.
Alamgir Masjid
The mosque was built in the 17th century by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Built-in Indo-Muslim architectural style, the mosque also features a pond that is believed to be twice as deep as the mosque’s height.
