Mirzapur

Mirzapur sits where the Vindhya hills meet the Ganga plain, long known for its brassware, carpets and sandstone quarries. Pilgrims pass through en route to the Vindhyavasini Devi shrine at nearby Vindhyachal, while the town itself holds the Mughal-era Chunar Fort on the river and a scatter of monsoon-fed waterfalls in the surrounding forest that make it a popular short getaway from Varanasi. Mirzapur is typically explored in about 1-2 days. The best time to visit is October to March. Nearby points of interest include Sidhnath Ki Dari, Tanda Falls, and Wyndham Falls. Other notable highlights include historic and cultural significance in Mirzapur, rich heritage and traditional architecture, and important religious and spiritual sites.
