What you can expect

Your journey through Varanasi, one of India's most sacred cities, begins at a time of your choosing. Your guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel to accompany you to Dasaswamedh Ghat, the starting point of this enchanting experience.

Upon arrival at the ghat, you’ll embark on a one-hour boat ride along the serene Ganges River. As the sun sets, marvel at the golden hues reflecting on the water and witness sacred rituals performed on the riverbanks by Hindu priests and devotees.

During the boat ride, you will observe the deeply spiritual cremation rituals at Manikarnika Ghat, a significant site where Hindus perform auspicious last rites for their loved ones. This profound ceremony represents the cycle of life and liberation in Hindu tradition.

After the ceremony, savor local flavors while soaking in breathtaking views of the city with an optional dinner, before returning to your hotel.
