Witness the iconic evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat with a prime viewing spot. Includes boat ride and pre-aarti temple visit.

Guided temple circuit covering Kashi Vishwanath, Nepali and Annapurna temples and the new Corridor.
Dawn aarti, ghats walk, temple circuit, old city lanes, Sarnath and evening Ganga Aarti.
Suresh is without doubt the finest guide I have ever had anywhere in the world. His knowledge of Varanasi is encyclopaedic. The 5 AM boat ride was the single most memorable experience of my life.
Dawn Boat RideI was travelling solo and nervous about Varanasi. Suresh made me feel completely safe. His English is excellent and he explains complex philosophy beautifully.
Full Day HeritageWe came for Dev Deepawali and Suresh arranged everything perfectly - the best ghat seating and prasad from the temple. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.
