About this activity
Your journey starts with the hotel pick up where you will meet our driver and tour guide at your hotel at 5 am or depending on the time suitable to you. You will be driven towards the Harishchandra Ghat which is one of the most famous and the oldest ghat of Varanasi. After leaving your car in the parking you will lead towards the Ghat where your pre arranged decorated boat will be waiting with the saluting boatman clad in traditional. As you ascend the boat you will be given a warm welcome by the team on the welcome note of sitar and the thump of Tabla. The performers of sitar and tabla are the selected from the gharana family.
Our tour guide will narrate to you the stories of different Ghats and the temples. He will also brief you about the Hindu rituals, 16 sacraments and typical Indian culture. You can capture the best pictures of gleaming sun and its rays falling on the holy water of the Ganges and see though your own eyes how a historical city of India wake up with live activities in the morning and get to see thousands of devotees having a dip in the holy water and praying the river with offering of flowers, milk and incense. The river is considered as a physical embodiment of the goddess. It will take nearly three hours to do this tour with a walk over the river ghats. Later our driver will leave you to your hotel.
