Itinerary :

05:00 AM pick-up from your hotel lobby and drive to the river Ganges. Embark on a private hand-rowing boat for an enchanting journey that transcends time and space with a Sunrise Boat Ride in Varanasi. The boat ride at sunrise, from Dashashwamedh Ghat to Manikarnika Ghat, is the most resplendent ride that takes you across the heritage of Varanasi.

After this, step down at Manikarnika Ghat and enjoy a short walk-through Food Street (Kachori Gali), the flower market, and the perfume market etc.

After this, return to the hotel for breakfast. If you don't want to return to the hotel for breakfast, our guide will suggest some amazing eateries that are famous for their mouth-watering breakfast items.

Later in the day, around 10 AM, drive to Sarnath, a sacred pilgrimage site where Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon. Echoes of enlightenment permeate the ancient stupas, serene gardens, and the Dhamek Stupa.

You will see the ruins of Sarnath, Buddha Temple, large Buddha statue, archaeological museum, and deer park.

After this, visit the Mother India Temple in Varanasi. This sanctuary of national devotion exudes a serene aura, revering the nation as a mother and symbolizing unity.

Later, drive to the riverbank and walk to a private balcony. Sit on a pre-reserved chair with the best view of the evening aarti ceremony. This seat will be away from the crowd yet offer the best view of the aarti.

As the sun dips below the horizon in Varanasi, the Ghats of the Ganges come alive with the Evening Aarti Ceremony. Flames dance in the hands of devout priests, hymns fill the air, and incense weaves mysticism. A mesmerizing spectacle unfolds, where ancient rituals bridge the earthly and the divine, captivating hearts.

After this, return to the hotel.

Our services will end here.

This is a trustworthy and professional tour operator. I booked a three day package as a solo female traveler with them and they were always super responsive during preparation. I received a nice and comprehensive itinerary before, that was also adjusted to my requests. I could also ask some questions about accommodation (which I preferred to book myself) and they were happy to help.

Airport pickup was on time and after arriving at the hotel I met my guide Mr. Bharat. I had the same guide and driver for the entire trip which gave me much comfort.

We took glimpse of Varanasi tour package and our guide Sunil was superb, enthusiastic and intelligent about his city and informative without being pushy or over friendly. I thoroughly recommend this company, although not cheap it is well worth the money for an insight and knowledge of the area and its history.

The team of Tour Varanasi are first rate. It seems all who met during our stay in Varanasi were expert in their respective services. Could not have our tours smoother. Guide, driver and all concerned were very good professionals. 10 for 10 is for your customer service.
