What you can expect

Your tour will begin at 5:00 PM with pickup from your hotel. Take a boat ride along the river, where you can enjoy the breathtaking sights of the city lit up at night.

Disembark to watch the aarti ceremony on the banks of the Ganges. See a priest take a sacred brass lamp and offer prayers to the holy river. The ceremony involves lights, cymbals, scented incense sticks, and people singing hymns and chanting. It’s a truly mesmerising experience.

After the ceremony, you will be taken for a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. Order your favourite dishes and relish them in the warm hospitality and cosy ambiance. After dinner, you will be dropped safely back at your hotel in Varanasi.
