Itinerary

  • Ganges River

    Pick-up from your Hotel at 05:30 AM and start your day with sunrise boat ride in Ganges river. Boating in the Ganges River during the sun rise in Varanasi is main attraction. We can observe here the Hindu’s way of life on the bank of the river Ganges (Ghats). Varanasi presents a unique combination of physical, metaphysical and supernatural elements. According to the Hindu mythology, Varanasi liberates soul from human body to the ultimate. It is the Ganga Ghats of Varanasi that complement the concept of divinity. After this amazing boat ride, step on at Manikarnika Ghat.
  • Manikarnika Ghat

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    This ghat, or riverside stairway, is known for its deep spiritual and cultural importance. It's where you'll witness the traditional cremation rituals performed by Hindus, which are believed to help departed souls achieve moksha, or liberation from the cycle of rebirth. Visiting Manikarnika Ghat offers a glimpse into the profound customs and beliefs of Varanasi. While it may not be a typical tourist attraction, it's a powerful and insightful experience into the rich spiritual traditions of this ancient city. It's a place where the spiritual and practical aspects of life and death converge, making it a fascinating destination for those seeking a deeper understanding of Indian culture. After this return back to hotel to have your breakfast and relax.

  • Ganga Aarti

    3 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Later after this walk into a private balcony and settle down on pre-booked private chairs with best view of aarti [We don't recommend to see aarti from the boat as between your boat and evening aarti place, there would be several boats, people standing in the middle of aarti disturbing your view] Aarti, also spelled arathi, is a Hindu ritual, in which light is offered to one or more deities. Aarti also refer to the songs sung in praise of the deity, when offering of lamps is being offered.Hindus in India worship the river Ganges as goddess. Every evening in Varanasi, aarti is performed at the Dashashwamedh ghat.
