Ganga snaan aur kashi mein maran, dono punya dayak hote hain.

Despite the effluents, there's no way one gets ill on any account by bathing or touching the ganges at Varanasi and beyond, in fact at Allahabad, (which is by way no less purer or devoid of effluents) millions bathe on account of the Kumbh mela, there's no advisory or ill effects post that. After all medicare at the Kumbh mela is free and even at the rate of 10% it has to hurt someone on account of all that medicare.

I have planned to visit Varanasi with family in the month of August for 3 days and one day in Allahabad while returning.
Please suggest on must-visit places, accommodation.

Re: Varanasi - Business + Spiritual trip

If you are going with family I would suggest you stay at hhi. Most of the hotels in Varanasi have no direct access to road and you would have to walk through narrow lanes for 500 Mtrs or more to get to the hotel. River side rooms charge a lot but amenities are very limited.

Go to the usual places. Ganga Aarti is highly recommended, you may take a boat if you want. Try lassi while in Varanasi.
