Details :

An interesting and varied walk to the sitter along with views of 19 bridges. At each bridge you will find an information board with a lot about the design, built and construction. The walk is about 2 to 2.5 hours long, so it's good even for people who feel to be total beginners. Then again, we are in no way in a rush and will enjoy the landscape and take it real easy.

Museum Exhibition: see photos here

We went to see two exhibitions at the Völkerkundemuseum Zurich. One was a photography exhibition by Fabian Biasio, who spent several months in Varanasi and reflected his views about the Indian traditions and family bonds through images of Indian families and individuals in their living rooms. The other exhibition showed Indian caricatures. We organized a guided tour through these exhibitions followed by a BIG reception.
