Description
Varanasi is a city of deep cultural experience. The sacred River Ganga carries the memory of thousands of years in her motherly waters as she flows through the heart of the city.
Our tours take you on a magnificent sunset visit with Ganga Aarti (prayers offered to the holy river, the Ganges), where life awakens on the banks of Mother Ganga during the evening rituals performed by sacred priests. And what makes it even more special? You enjoy these spectacular scenes from a boat. It is a once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience you should not miss.
At the same time, while exploring this cultural heritage, you also witness the other side of existence at Manikarnika Ghat, where funeral cremations take place, and families bid farewell to their loved ones. Our tours bring you close to both life and death, revealing the profound spiritual heritage of Mother Ganga.
