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/destinations/asia/nepal/
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 :)

I am here to admire the writing: You only spoke 4-5 sentences yet so brilliant and soulful. As a person who likes cinematography too, this is beyond incredible. A perfect blend of words and lenses..

Incerdible cinematography with short cuts with no transition effects. Absolute example of professionalism with Camera.

Awesome film. I've been to India several times and just can't seem to get enough. Varanasi is exceedingly difficult to explain to people in the west, but you have succeeded well.
