Tour Overview

The best part of Varanasi is enjoying the River Ganges by taking a boat ride on the river. This tour lets the guests witness the different shades of the city, the time starts by meeting the guide at Assi Ghat early in the morning.

The magnificent view of the long stretch of the ghats, along with the shining water guide, will then take you on the Boat. On this tour, you will enjoy the sleepless culture of this city where the sound of ringing bells, chanting of mantras & devotional songs awake you early in the morning. You will enjoy the visit of historical Ghats of 100 temples along with activities and Ganga aarti performed in the morning. This is the best photographic journey where the scenes of this ancient city, sunrise, and boat rides will mesmerize you.

We will go on Assi to Dashashwamedh Ghat and take a boat ride on the river Ganga with a stunning sunrise view, we head towards Harishchandra Ghat, which covers many ghats on a Boat, and observe the traditional Hindu way of living along the banks of the river Ganga.

Also, this is where the cremation process happens, and it is believed that one will attain salvation/moksha if cremation is done here.

A Somewhat Worthwhile Tour, Especially For The Boat Ride

The best part of the tour is the boat ride which gave a different perspective of the river and the ghats. Watching the ceremony at sunrise is quite magical too, though you don't need to go on a tour as the ceremony is free for everyone. There could be more explanations of the different rituals of the ceremony.

Great experience

I wasn't sure if I should attend this tour as someone told me it's going to be foggy and you don't see anything, but then others told me that this has to be experienced while in Varanasi. And thankfully I listened to those people, it was a very peaceful and interesting tour

Varanasi Sunrise Boat ride tour

Had a brilliant morning tour with Jain. He was really nice, polite, informative and was very helpful. We enjoyed the Subah-e-Banaras ceremony (was worth the early start) and the boat ride around the Ganges was really good. Can not recommend this tour highly enough.
