6-hour Morning tour of Varanasi with Boat Ride, Akhada & Heritage Walk

Bask in spirituality and experience the true culture of India with this morning tour of Varanasi. After a hotel pick at 5:00 or 6:00 AM (depending upon the time of the year) by your guide and driver, you will be heading to the famous Assig ghat. Witness the sunrise with the Ganga aarti (a traditional ritual where fire is used as offering by priests in form of oil lamps), post which you will get a chance to enjoy a classical dance where dancers will show their talent.

Following this, enjoy a yoga session by the banks of river with the local people and learn how this ancient art has become a rage all over the world. Once you’re done stretching your muscles here, proceed ahead to the Akhada (a traditional place for training and practicing of Indian martial arts). You will see how men engage in this wonderful art from the earliest hour of the day.

Next up on the list will be your morning boat ride on the Ganges, where you will see all the colorful ghats and people performing their different rituals. After the boat ride (of approximately 1 hour) , you will be taken to the last leg of your tour which includes a walk through the oldest part of Varanasi. Explore the narrow alleys, the innumerable tiny temples ( which dates back to centuries) and the local life, like a local!
