What you can expect

Assi Ghat: Begin your tour at Assi Ghat, where you can observe early morning rituals. Many pilgrims gather here for a holy dip in the Ganges, and you may witness yoga sessions and traditional prayers.

Dashashwamedh Ghat: This is one of the oldest and most important ghats in Varanasi. During the day, see pilgrims and priests performing various religious rituals. If your timing is right, you can witness the mesmerising evening Ganga Aarti—a traditional ceremony dedicated to the river Ganges, involving fire, chants, and devotional music.

Manikarnika Ghat: Explore the famous cremation ghat, where the cycle of life and death is deeply connected to the belief of attaining moksha (liberation). This part of the tour allows you to witness the customs and culture surrounding death in Hinduism.

Vishwanath Temple: Walk towards the narrow lanes leading to Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the most revered temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. The lanes around the temple, filled with sweet shops and stalls selling flowers and offerings, create a bustling spiritual atmosphere.

Annapurna Temple: Close to the Vishwanath Temple, this temple is dedicated to Goddess Annapurna, the goddess of food and nourishment. It reflects the deep cultural belief in the blessings of sustenance.

Nepali Temple: Visit the Nepali Temple, also known as the “Mini Khajuraho” for its intricate wood carvings. It is a unique structure in Varanasi, located near Lalita Ghat, and represents a blend of Indian and Nepalese architecture.

Walk Through the Alleys: Navigate through the maze-like alleys of Varanasi, filled with colourful shops selling brassware, silk sarees, and local crafts. These lanes offer a glimpse into the daily lives of locals, from artisans working on Banarasi silk to vendors preparing street snacks.

Hanuman Ghat: End your walking tour at Hanuman Ghat, which holds importance for those devoted to Lord Hanuman. It is a peaceful spot, ideal for soaking in the serene atmosphere of the Ganges.
