Great experience, recommended the service. Boat ride on the Ganges especially sunrise: must do

Mr Sunil Sahani and his team of boatmen were most helpful and informative about the sights on the ride. The sunrise rowboat ride was very relaxing and spiritually uplifting. The Ganga Aarti darshan from the evening trip also covering all of Kashi's ghats was a good experience. They were punctual, boats clean and staff arranged to meet us to escort us to the boarding ghats.
