Full Description

Immerse yourself in the spiritual and cultural richness of Varanasi on this guided walking tour. Begin your journey with an early morning visit to Assi Ghat to witness the morning Ganga Aarti, a sacred ceremony that begins just before dawn and continues as the sun rises, filling the air with chants and the glow of oil lamps.

After the Aarti, take a peaceful walk along the riverbank, soaking in the sunrise and the tranquil atmosphere of the Ganges. Your next stop is Tulsi Ghat, known for its quiet ambiance. If you wish, explore the nearby Tulsi Manas Mandir, dedicated to the poet-saint Tulsidas.

Continue to Dashashwamedh Ghat, one of the busiest and most significant ghats in Varanasi. Here, you can observe various rituals and activities that reflect the city's vibrant spiritual life. From there, walk towards Manikarnika Ghat, the revered cremation site, and respectfully witness the funeral pyres and rituals, gaining insight into the spiritual significance of the ghat.

Venture into the narrow, bustling lanes behind the ghats, where local shops, temples, and eateries bring Varanasi’s unique street scenes and architecture to life. Conclude your tour with a stop at a local café or traditional eatery to enjoy a delicious breakfast featuring local delicacies like kachoris, jalebis, or a steaming cup of chai.
