BOAT RIDE ON THE RIVER AT SUNSET, CREMATION AND CEREMONY

  • Activity duration is 2 hours2h
    2h
  • English

Boat ride on the Ganges River at sunset, cremation and late afternoon Ganga Aarti ceremony is held at the Dashashwamedh gath, the main ghat of the city. Viewing it from the steps is unmissable, but from the Ganges River the perspective is totally different. That is why many pilgrims prefer to get on a boat and follow it from the river, which is what we will do after taking a boat ride in front of some of the other ghats.
