What you can expect

  • A boat tour in the morning is a must-do activity in the city of Varanasi. It begins every morning from the Assi Ghat. First, we watch the Arti ceremony and the havan, which is one of the oldest rituals performed by the Hindus.
    During the boating, we pass about 55 of the most important ghats as you float on the waters of the Ganges. Listen to stories about different ghats and monuments on the bank.

    After reaching the Manikarnika Ghat, the most venerated crematorium, we slowly return to the Assi Ghat. This tour provides a picturesque, panoramic view of this beautiful city.
