Itinéraire
La navigation de plaisance dans le Gange pendant le lever du soleil à Varanasi est l'attraction principale. On peut observer ici le mode de vie des Hindous au bord du Gange (Ghats) Certains des ghats importants et populaires de Varanasi sont le Dasaswamedh Ghat, le Manikarnika Ghat, le Harischandra Ghat et le Kedar Ghat.
Dashashwamedh Ghat est le ghat principal et le ghat le plus spectaculaire de Varanasi sur le Gange. Deux légendes hindoues lui sont associées : Selon l'une, Lord Brahma l'a créé pour accueillir Lord Shiva. Selon une autre légende, Lord Brahma sacrifie dix chevaux pendant Dasa-Ashwmedha-Yajna.
Kedar Ghat à Varanasi. Les ghats de Varanasi sont des marches au bord de la rivière menant aux rives du Gange
Manikarnika Ghat, le principal ghat brûlant, est l'endroit le plus propice à l'incinération d'un hindou. Les cadavres sont manipulés par des parias connus sous le nom de doms et sont transportés à travers les ruelles de la vieille ville jusqu'au Gange sacré sur une civière en bambou enveloppée de tissu.
Le temple Kashi Vishwanath est l'un des temples hindous les plus célèbres dédiés au Seigneur Shiva. Il est situé à Varanasi
L'Université hindoue de Bénarès est un temple de l'apprentissage de renommée internationale, situé dans la ville sainte de Varanasi. Cette université créative et innovante a été fondée par le grand leader nationaliste, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, en 1916 avec la coopération de grandes personnalités comme le Dr Annie Besant, qui la considéraient comme l'Université de l'Inde. L'Université hindoue de Bénarès a été créée en vertu de la législation parlementaire - B.H.U. Act 1915. Il a joué un rôle stellaire dans le mouvement d'indépendance et est devenu le plus grand centre d'apprentissage en Inde. Il a produit de nombreux grands combattants de la liberté et bâtisseurs de l'Inde moderne et a immensément contribué au progrès de la nation grâce à un grand nombre d'érudits, d'artistes, de scientifiques et de technologues renommés qui ont honoré ses portails. La superficie du campus principal de cette première université centrale est de 1300 acres, avec des routes bien entretenues, une vaste verdure, un temple, une piste d'atterrissage et des bâtiments qui sont un délice architectural.
Temple de Durga : Durga Mandir a été construit au 18ème siècle par Bengali Maharani- Rani Bhabani de Natore. Le temple est dédié à la déesse Durga. À côté du temple, se trouve un kund (étang) qui était auparavant relié au Gange. On pense que l'icône existante de la déesse n'a pas été faite par un homme mais est apparue seule dans le temple.
Le temple Sankat Mochan Hanuman est un temple hindou à Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, Inde et est dédié au dieu hindou Hanuman. Le temple a été créé par le célèbre prédicateur et poète hindou Sri Goswami Tulsidas au début du XVIe siècle et est situé sur les rives de la rivière Assi. La divinité s'appelait " Sankat Mochan ", ce qui signifie " le sauveur des ennuis ".
Bharat Mata Mandir (qui signifie "Temple de la Mère de l'Inde") est situé sur le campus Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapith à Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, Inde. Au lieu de statues traditionnelles de dieux et de déesses, ce temple possède une immense carte de l'Inde indivise sculptée dans du marbre. Ce temple est dédié à Bharat Mata et prétend être le seul de son genre au monde.
Sarnath : Sarnath à Varanasi, est l'endroit où Bouddha a choisi de prononcer son premier sermon. Cela fait de Sarnath l'un des lieux bouddhistes les plus vénérés. Outre le bouddhisme, Sarnath est également lié au jaïnisme. Il existe de nombreux monuments et édifices bouddhistes à Sarnath. Certains des monuments bouddhistes importants de Sarnath sont le stupa de Dhamekha, le stupa de Dharmarajika et les monastères et temples de différentes écoles de bouddhisme du Japon, de Chine, de Thaïlande, de Birmanie et autres. Le temple Mahabodhi dans le parc possède une relique dentaire du Bouddha. Il y a aussi une vaste étendue de ruines antiques à Sarnath. Plusieurs structures bouddhistes ont été élevées à Sarnath entre le 3ème siècle avant JC et le 11ème siècle après JC, et aujourd'hui, il présente les ruines les plus précieuses parmi les endroits sur la piste bouddhiste. Le pilier de la capitale du lion d'Ashoka à Sarnath est l'emblème national de l'Inde, qui est exposé au musée archéologique de Sarnath.
Le Chaukhandi Stupa est considéré comme l'un des monuments les plus divins et les plus importants de la culture bouddhiste.
Dhamek Stupa Sarnath marque l'endroit où le Bouddha a prêché son premier message. Construit par le grand roi Mauryan Ashoka au 3ème siècle avant notre ère
Stupa de Dharmarajika. Il a été construit sur les reliques du Bouddha par Ashoka au 3ème siècle avant notre ère
Les piliers d'Ashoka sont une série de colonnes dispersées dans tout le sous-continent indien, érigées ou au moins inscrites avec des édits par l'empereur Mauryan Ashoka pendant son règne au 3ème siècle avant notre ère.
Le musée de Sarnath est le plus ancien musée de site de l'Archaeological Survey of India. Il abrite les découvertes et les fouilles du site archéologique de Sarnath, par l'Archaeological Survey of India.
Aartis fait également référence aux chansons chantées à la louange de la divinité, lors de l'offrande de lampes. Les hindous en Inde vénèrent le Gange comme une déesse. Chaque soir à Varanasi, aarti est joué au ghat Dashashwamedh. On peut l'observer depuis le ghat ou depuis le bord de l'eau en bateau. C'est un spectacle magnifique, résonnant et majestueux avec une chorégraphie très précise impliquant des rituels exécutés par plusieurs prêtres au son des cloches, des tambours, des cymbales et des mantras sanskrits. La rivière est également vénérée avec des pétales de fleurs.

We did a beautiful half day tour with Vinod. The experience was great. From the storytelling to the sites, Vinod led us through the Ghats and the narrow streets of Varanasi sharing his deep knowledge of the city and his passion. After walking and experiencing the city extensively, Ganga Aarti was the apex of the whole experience. We attended it from a reserved high seat (300 Rs pp) that allowed us to fully enjoy the ceremony at its best away from the crowd. A deep and mystical moment that we'll remember forever. Vinod was always kind and caring about our needs and we feel blessed to have had this experience with him.
We had an excellent experience with the booking and tour guide. Indrajeet Ji provided all the support since we booked including taxi and guide services. He kept us informed all along with changing conditions and weather - very professional and punctual. Vinod Ji was our guide and he was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and helped us during our stay at Varanasi with all darshans and ensured us we had a seamless experience. The taxi drivers were very reliable, safe and punctual. They also provided services to us at Ayodhya including taxi from Ayodhya to Varanasi. We travelled with family and had an excellent experience. Strongly recommend their services for bookings, taxi and guide.
Indrajeet with Varanasi Day Tours was the most incredible guide ever. He took us to the main temple and many other sites including a ride on the Ganges. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a palpable love of the city, which is my favorite city in the world.

We had a great experience with Varanasi Day Tours and the morning boat ride. Great communication with Indrajeet before the day of the tour, who was also super flexible to change the schedule as our flight was delayed for several hours. The guide was super nice and knowledgeable as well.

My Aunt and I spent some time in India in October/November 2019, one of our favorite places visited was Varanasi. The city of Varanasi gives a feeling that is unexplainable...but our guide, Jai Prakash Mishra, helped to elevate our experience to another level! He was knowledgeable, funny, kind and accommodating! In the evening he took us through the old city to learn about it's history and culture, and to see the different stores, then we went to the Ganges to view the evening ceremony, which was nothing short of incredible! He went out his way to help us find items that we wanted to purchase, which wasn't easy. The next morning he accompanied us on the boat ride along the ganges to see the various activities occurring along the river, including the prayers and cremations. He was hands down one of our best guides during our time in India! Thanks so much JP...may we meet again in Varanasi!

I spent a day and a half in Varanasi with my guide Akash. We walked the small lanes and got to see the daily lives of the locals. Akash even arranged an excellent seat for me at the evening Arti and I got to snap quite a few good shots. What I was most impressed with was his knowledge of the city, its customs and its history and will definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in Varanasi.

Varanasi is folded in layers and layers. Hence, very first moment to be on Ganga Ghat is mesmerising with the sense of being rooted to this land. A whole city is like a live museum that has preserved centuries within and living heritage of traditions, culture and human science. I have spared 5 full days to cover all the aspects of Varanasi to inhale and absorb an essence of the gorgeous place on this planet. My hotel did recommended a guide named Prasann, I met him to discuss my way of exploring Varanasi. Over a small conversation Prasann did acknowledged my interests and intentions to assure me that he is the one who can take me accordingly. Since then he has been proactively informative, flexible and friendly throughout to me and my 11 year young boy, who’s expectations were different than mine. Prasann has offered 2 sessions of a few hours to attend my specifications that has helped me to catch insight of Varanasi. We had non-stop interaction during the tour and Prasann was highly approachable for anything related to Varanasi. Most of the locals I met are extremely friendly and talkative.
