What you can expect

Begin your day with a sunrise boat tour on the Ganges River in Varanasi. Witness the city come to life as you glide along the water, observing the morning rituals at the ghats. See locals performing ritual baths, praying to the holy Ganges, and chanting mantras.

Experience the unique spiritual atmosphere as women perform pooja offerings, light lamps for blessings, and sound temple bells. This morning activity at the ghats is a must-see for anyone visiting Varanasi.

Continue your journey to the busiest cremation ground in Varanasi, where you’ll gain an understanding of the city’s death rituals. Then, take a heritage walk in the Golden Temple area, where you’ll see Hindu and Muslim temples standing side by side.
