Varanasi Aften Ganga Aarti Tour

Vinit was patient and tailored the tour to our needs. We walked through a slightly dodge area to get to manikarnika ghat but felt safe with him.

Authentic yoga experience doing Surya Namaskar and balancing asanas while looking out over the Ganges river. Skillful instructor adjusting poses with patience and giving encouragement. Great relaxation and sevasna. Can’t imagine a more beautiful and authentic spot. Have Google maps ready to navigate the small streets leading to the yoga studio. It makes it more adventurous and fun!

We had a wonderful and memorable experience exploring Varanasi with our guide, Vinod. He took us through the winding streets of the city, shared fascinating insights into its history and culture, and introduced us to the delicious local specialty, tomato chaat. His knowledge, warmth, and care made the experience feel both authentic and easygoing, and he always made sure we were well taken care of and comfortable despite the intermittent rain. The Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat at night was truly unforgettable. We were able to sit very close to the ceremony, making the experience incredibly immersive - we could feel the warmth of the flames, smell the flower petals as they fell around us, and hear the sounds of the ceremony up close. We learned that the Aarti continues rain or shine, and were impressed by how seamlessly everything was moved to another location when rain was anticipated and boat tours were stopped due to rising waters. Experiencing this beautiful ceremony up close on land was a highlight of our time in Varanasi, and we highly recommend Vinod for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and memorable experience.

This is an excellent tour. I would recommend this to everyone visiting Varanasi.

Nice experience in Varanasi. I was there with my family, enjoy a lot of in Varanasi.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide Vinodji was knowledgable and went out of his way to make the tour seamless. We toured the Ganga via boat, followed by excellent seating to view the evening Ganga Aarti. Vinodji provided snippets of Kashi history throughout and was very personable. Highly recommended!

Very attentive and flexible guide with a good tour of the ghats along the Ganges

Great experience with this tour, everything was so well organized from meeting-greeting us up to the final minute. Very thoughtful arrangement of logistics (taxi, boat, great seats to watch Aarti and an escape walk when the ceremony was about to finish through the ghat building to the old city streets), deep and open discussions with the guide, lots of insights and new information. We will be booking another tours with this guide while we are in Varanasi this week for sure. Thank you!

It is a memorable experience for all once in a lifetime experience Guide was excellent and courteous
