Preparation

Before We Walk

👟

Comfortable Shoes

Kashi is best experienced on foot. The alleys are narrow, uneven, and require stepping over ancient stones. Slip-on shoes are recommended as we frequently visit active temples.

🧥

Modest Clothing

As we visit sacred, active religious sites, shoulders and knees should be covered. Avoid wearing graphic tees or revealing clothes to ensure respect for local tradition.

📸

Photography Rules

While street and scenic shots are encouraged, photography is strictly prohibited inside temple inner sanctums and at the cremation ghats out of respect for grieving families.
