Itinerary
Dashashwamedh Ghat is a main ghat in Varanasi located on the Ganges River in Uttar Pradesh. It is located close to Vishwanath Temple. There are two Hindu legends associated with the ghat: according to one, Brahma created it to welcome Shiva, and in another, Brahma Performed 10 Ashwamegha Yajna, Dasa-Ashwamedha yajna.
It is one of the two cremation Ghats (the otherone being Manikarnika Ghat). Hindus from different places bring the dead bodies of their relatives to the Harishchandra Ghat for cremation. In Hindu mythology it is believed that if a person is cremated at the Harishchandra Ghat, that person gets salvation or moksha
Legend has it that Goddess Durga, after killing demons Shumbha-Nishumbha, threw her sword in a river (called Assi). That is why this ghat has been named so. While the evening arti invites visitors regularly, the ghat is especially crowded during the months of chaitya (March/ April) and magh (January/ February).
In this we will do boat ride about 60 min
Kashi Vishvanath Temple is one of the most famous Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is located in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. The temple stands on the western bank of the holy river Ganga, and is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, the holiest of Shivatemples.
It is an expression of reverence to the sacred river Ganges, believed to cleanse sins and bestow spiritual purification. The devotion and energy of the ceremony make it a must-attend event for those seeking a profound connection with Varanasi's spiritual essence.

Great itinerary, great guide, fabulous walking pace. Loved the boat ride, and the back alleys, and the morning tea stop, lots of information, and the option to customise your tour if you wanted
Our tour did not happen, we were at the designated pickup point, tried to.contact the tour operator, the phone number doesn't work, could reach tge operator by message or email.
Didn’t show up No contact at all before the tour or even on the day. Didn’t even reply to my several emails on the day. Had to contact Viator support after an hour waiting to get a response and resolution
I was able to see the best scenes! Amit's Varanasi story was also interesting and informative! Thank you so much for your support!
You may have the image that India has a lot of fraud, but Amit is not. He's someone you can really trust! I guarantee you this. She is also extremely fluent and gentle in Japanese! Please visit Amit when you come to India!
Highly recommended. Have had chance to deep into real Varanasi. Thanks a lot for warm welcoming and authentic experience
Mr. Amit has been very helpful to me in Varanasi. In India, where most of the people I talk to are unreliable, I was very lucky to meet someone as sincere and courteous as Amit-san. He also speaks good Japanese, and the deep local stories were very interesting.
This was a wonderful tour and I highly recommend joining it. The Ganges was much cleaner than I expected. In recent years, the Ganges has been cleaned up, and many tourists come to bathe in it. After visiting the ghats, the sunset cruise was very beautiful. I was also able to experience our guide Deepu's excellent Japanese and warm personality. The evening prayer ceremony, Aarti, was also very memorable. Thanks to Deepu, I was able to enjoy the view at my leisure from a special seat. Thank you very much!
Excellent Tour. Very complete. Vinay took me to see all the important places like the Ghats and the Ganges. The ride was wonderful and I had a good time. I recommend it for people who speak Spanish. Thanks for everything.
I was skeptical at first because I had the impression that Indian guides are rip-offs, but he carefully showed me around Varanasi for half a day and even treated me to chai. He spoke fluent Japanese and was a really trustworthy person. Thank you very much.
