Varanasi, the oldest city with no shortage of characters and colours. I made this cinematic travel film to show you what it felt like to step in to a different world, to see a culture which has been preserved for thousands of years still alive and well today.
I loved my time here, it's like a creatives heaven full of inspiration, my favourite part was hanging with the Sadhu's (holy men) talking to them and learning about their way of life. For me this is what travel's about, learning and connecting with others, making memories and finding more of yourself out there in the world.
The tour we used across India and Nepal (Highly recommended) - www.gadventures.com/destinati...
Some shots were taken in Orchha, a small rural town on the way to Varanasi, additional footage was also supplied from Jenny (@otherworld.ly follow her!)
I know i'll be back in Varanasi in future, it's just one of those places that feels like there's so much more there to discover.
Anyways hope you liked the film! Let me know your thoughts :)

Namaskar Ben Mikha. This short cinematic film of yours took me back to my first and NOT my last visit to Varanasi. I was so enthralled by old Varanasi with all its vibrant shakti and Shanti. Covid 19 has us all in the Camel Clutch, a wrestling manuever used by a former WWE wrestler The Iron Sheik and therefore India as well as many other places are closed to spiritual seekers of the Truth and the Self. Thanks a lot for this film. It's AWESOME brotha'. I'm a newborn RU-vidr on the travel vlog platform and I do the best within my abilities of filmimg and editing with a GoPro 5 in my humble way to bring the very best of Colombia and other places I am visiting and will visit. You are the man B! SHUBKAMNAE!

@saopaulosoul8714 5 лет назад

No. Instead go to forests of Kerala, and the deserts of Rajasthan ... Varanasi is interesting then again to people not from that part of the world it will always remain interesting. To understand the core of India go to the places I mention. Trust me. It’s more fascinating and least explored by the west. To me Varanasi is an explosion of spiritual, India and its history is far more than just spiritual.
