However, certain things are best to be avoided for a visit to the city with minimum hiccups.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Avoid a weekend if you plan to visit Varanasi<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">With the city bursting at the seams on the weekend, visiting Varanasi on the weekdays is preferable if you are looking for some peaceful moments. You can also skip the important festivals for the visit if tranquillity is also part of your plans, if not, then enjoy the vibrancy of the city which is always in a celebratory mode.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Things Not to Do in Varanasi\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1063\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"266\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/meeratales-76-e7f68ba9.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/div>\n<p> <span lang=\"EN-US\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Avoid unofficial facilitators for darshan at the temples<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Those keen on a less time-consuming temple darshan should take help of such provision, if any, from the temple&#8217;s official website or walk-in ticket counters. They should avoid the unofficial facilitators hovering around the temples who could charge much more than the official amount and the amount paid will not go into the exchequer of the temple.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Wander, but don&#8217;t get lost in the lanes<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The old-world charm of the lanes of Varanasi transports you to a different world altogether. The architecture of some of the houses in this old part of the city is quite enchanting. These lanes also have some delectable eating places to gorge on sweets, so pamper your taste buds with sweets like malai puri, and palang tod among a long list of delicacies that are only served by shops in the lanes. But then a word of caution as well, be wary of the middlemen popularly known as lapkas who could lure you to the &#8216;authentic&#8217; Banarasi saree or fabric stores, some of them situated in the lanes in the old part of the city. Instead, try shopping for products with the silk mark or a GI tag (Geographical Indication) in case you are keen on authentic stuff.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Things Not to Do in Varanasi\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1059\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"265\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/meeratales-76-4873ba31.jpg\" width=\"400\"><\/div>\n<h3>Stay away from the self-proclaimed guides<\/h3>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Those desirous to understand this\u00a0<\/span><span>spiritually layered place or the experience the worldly charm of the city with the help of a guide, steer clear away from the self-proclaimed ones.
