Kanpur lies along the banks of River Ganga and owing to this, it is home to numerous ghats, each of which has a unique aspect attached to it. In fact, Kanpur's Bithoor area was once known as 'Bavan Ghaton ki Nagari' (City of 52 Ghats), of which only 29 survived the Revolt of 1857, industrialisation and other adventitious projects. In an attempt to acquaint you with the historical and religious significance of this city, we have planned an offbeat digital tour along the 7 ghats of Kanpur that you ought to know about!
When seen through a keen eye, Kanpur has a lot to offer in tourism, apart from the generic touristy destinations. We hope that as you embark upon an exploration of these 7 ghats when the pandemic recedes, you uncover an interesting journey that you can document in your travelogue. And if you are a Kanpurite, then let us know in the comments below- visiting which ghat was your pre-pandemic guilty pleasure?
