yeah- here's a tip . . . a few hours from Varanasi is a totally unspouilt
Muslim city straight out of the Middle ages
JAUNPUR
fort, Mosques, a cool old bridge and such, even a faded palace
hire a taxi for the day from Varanasi, you wont find a single westerner, or
tout or scam artiste
just you , the flys and the marvelous archectural reminants of a Muslim
dynasty. Makes a great time-out from Varanasi.
I can't believe I'm telling anyone, but no one ever goes, so what the hey! |
