What you can expect

Varanasi or Banaras or Kashi, call it by different name but every name will give you a unique storey and joyful feeling to be here. A city situated on the banks of river Ganges. Varanasi has been a cultural centre of North India for several thousand years, and is closely associated with the Ganges. Hindus believe that death in the city will bring salvation, making it a major centre for pilgrimage. The city is known worldwide for its many Ghats, embankments made in steps of stone slabs along the river bank where pilgrims perform ritual ablutions.

Start your journey with the hotel pick-up where your guide and cab waits for you. Tour starts either at 5:00 in the morning or 6:00 depending upon the season. Time shall be confirmed to you post booking. Enjoy the city with more than 2000 temples that includes the Kashi Vishwanath Temple also called the Golden temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. With so many Ghats here, Some of the prominent and popular one’s include the Dasaswamedh Ghat, Manikarnika Ghat, Harischandra Ghat, Assi Ghat,Shivala Ghat, Man Mandir Ghat, Darbhanga Ghat, Ahilyabai Ghat and the Kedar Ghat.

On the completion of boat ride, visit to the oldest part of Varanasi for a small walk. Stop by the Kashi Vishwanath temple. Post completion of the tour, get dropped off back to your hotel.

The excursion was very expensive and only lasted a few hours. It was supposed to be a sunrise on a boat and the guide picked me up after sunrise. The tour was less than three hours and then he took me back to my hotel. During the boat ride, the sound of the machine did not give me a chance to talk to the guide and ask him my questions, even he did not share information about everything that was going on around the Ghats. I do not recommend this tour, you can find more tours with local people and they will give you a different price and they are very good speakers in different languages.

We had a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. However, our three hour tour was only two and so we felt paying the additional $56 seemed unfair.

A very fine sunrise boat tour and excellent guiding by 5-star guide Kasif, by car, boat and walk at the Ghats (riverfronts). Kasif told us everything of interest and made the trip memorable. Highly recommended!

My guide is really informative. But we got into a boat after the sun had risen for a while.

Excellent: My guide, Rajat from Varanasi Excursions was very friendly and full of information. He answered all of my questions patiently! The boat trip and walking were a great way to see the city.

Excellent service very knowledgeable guide: Guide was very helpful and flexible although I have arrived late. The sunrise boat trip was for me the highlight. The service was excellent. Without a Guide I would not have received the insight and information about the things I saw. I would only recommend the tour everyone. Please let the guide know if you are more interested in the morning ritual or the sunrise
