Point de rencontre : Agrawal Radio Chauraha Shivala4 + GG4, Road, Shivala Ghat, Bhelupur, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh 221001, Inde. Nous accueillons nos voyageurs au Green Ganga Café, situé juste en face de l'entrée d'Assi Ghat. De là, vous commencez par regarder le soir Ganga Aarti et continuez avec une promenade en bateau vers les ghats (jetées) populaires de Varanasi. Le Varanasi Ganga Aarti est l'une des cérémonies spirituelles les plus puissantes en Inde. Organisé tous les soirs le long des rives de la rivière sacrée Ganga, ce rituel est accompli par des prêtres formés qui offrent du feu, de l'encens et des prières rythmées à la rivière sainte. L'atmosphère devient magique alors que des lampes brillent sur le ciel sombre, que des chants de dévotion remplissent l'air et que des centaines de dévots se rassemblent pour assister à la cérémonie. Observer l'aarti depuis un bateau ajoute une perspective vraiment inoubliable, vous permettant de découvrir la dévotion et l'énergie du cœur de la rivière elle-même.
Dashashwamedh Ghat est le ghat le plus vibrant et le plus célèbre de Varanasi. Il est situé à proximité du temple Vishwanath. Selon la légende, le seigneur Brahma a fait un grand sacrifice de dix chevaux ici, c'est ainsi que le ghat a obtenu son nom. Aujourd'hui, c'est le site principal de la soirée Ganga Aarti et reste constamment vivant avec les pèlerins, les sadhus, les artistes de rue, et les visiteurs du monde entier. Les marches menant à la rivière sont toujours actives avec des rituels, des prières et des activités culturelles, ce qui en fait le cœur spirituel de la ville.
Manikarnika Ghat est l'un des lieux de crémation les plus anciens et les plus sacrés d'Inde. Il représente le cycle éternel de la vie et de la mort et a une signification spirituelle profonde dans la croyance hindoue. On dit que la crémation ici accorde la libération du cycle de la renaissance. Le feu sacré de ce ghat brûle continuellement depuis des siècles. Visiter Manikarnika Ghat offre une expérience profonde et humble, révélant un aspect puissant de la réalité spirituelle de Varanasi.
Les Ghats de Varanasi sont une série de plates-formes en gradins bordant les rives de la Ganga. Il y a plus de 80 ghats, chacun avec sa propre histoire, légende et but. Certains sont utilisés pour les rituels quotidiens et les bains, d'autres pour la méditation, le yoga, les cérémonies et les crémations. Ensemble, ils forment la colonne vertébrale culturelle et spirituelle de la ville. Une promenade en bateau le long de ces ghats offre une vue complète sur les traditions vivantes de Varanasi, où la dévotion, la culture et la vie quotidienne coulent en douceur le long de la rivière sacrée.

This was my second visit to Varanasi. The city has changed altogether, but it has not lost its aura. The rush of people throughout the day, the unruly traffic everywhere, gives it a different atmosphere. The cruise in the evening, covering the "Artis" on the famous ghats of the river Ganges is just awesome ! I will love to visit Varanasi again and again.
Thank you for visiting us again and for sharing your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to know that despite all the changes, Varanasi’s timeless aura and unique energy still made a lasting impression on you.
FAILED to communicate with us all day to confirm plans, then failed to show up at meeting site, had to call Trip Advisor for help, DO NOT USE!
We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused. After investigating the situation, we found that this was a last-minute booking and we had already informed you via email and also tried to reach out to confirm the arrangements, but unfortunately we did not receive any response from your end.
We took the "Alaknanda" cruise. It was really good and witnessing the "Namo Ghat Arti" from the boat was awesome. The cruise charges a fancy price, but I believe it's worth the money.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Alaknanda cruise and found witnessing the Namo Ghat Aarti from the boat to be an awesome experience. We are glad you felt the experience was worth it—hope to welcome you again soon!
Definitely need support navigating the old city of Varanasi and finding the meeting spot. Be prepared to walk on rough surfaces.
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience — we’ll use your comments to improve our services and provide clearer guidance for future guests.
Rahul was a great guide! Very friendly and helpful. He was explaining everything in a very interesting way. He also was answering to all our questions and showed us a few interesting places on the bank of the river.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Rahul and found his guidance informative and engaging. Your appreciation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again for another wonderful experience!
Rahul was very friendly and helpful. He was answering to all our questions. He also showed us some interesting places on the bank of the river. Excellent experience!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you had an excellent experience and enjoyed exploring with Rahul. Your appreciation truly motivates us to keep delivering great service and memorable tours.
The boat was very small that too uncovered. It was about to rain so we wanted a covered boat. With the price we paid we did not expect a boat like that.
We’re really sorry to hear that the boat didn’t meet your expectations. The tour generally operates with standard boats as mentioned in the inclusions, but we completely understand your concern regarding the weather. We’ll share your feedback with our operator to ensure better arrangements and clearer communication for future travelers.
We booked and travelled 1 hour to the meeting point for a 5:00pm start. We waited for 20 minutes and no one arrived only to check my email to find a cancellation notification at 4:56pm (4 minutes before the tour was meant to start). No prior warning or communication. Terrible
We are very sorry for the inconvenience you faced. However, we would like to clarify that the tour was scheduled on a date when the region experienced flooding, making it unsafe to operate. For the safety of our guests, we had no choice but to cancel the tour. We informed you in advance, attempted to reach you directly on the same day, and also issued a full refund promptly. As the cancellation was due to unavoidable natural circumstances and outside our control, this review does not reflect the actual service quality we strive to provide. We remain committed to ensuring safe and memorable experiences for all our customers.
Because of the unusual traffic in Varanasi, it was necessary to shorten the boat tour, on the orders of the authorities. To “kill time” Rahul gave me a guided walking tour around the absolutely fascinating Tulsi ghat, off the beaten track. It was very interesting. The rest of the tour according to my expectations, with the nice boat tour, and all the surprising information about the cremation, among others. Thank you Rahul!
Thank you very much for this positive feedback! Despite the unexpected circumstances in Varanasi, we’re delighted that you enjoyed the alternative experience offered by Rahul, as well as the rest of the tour. His enthusiasm and local knowledge truly make a difference. We hope to welcome you again for more enriching discoveries! 😊
These guys bailed on us. We showed up at the meetup and waited and waited. I had to call their head office in Bangkok to get ahold of someone, and when they finally reached out, they said that their boat had been damaged two days earlier and they couldn't give us a tour. They told us they tried reaching out via WhatsApp, and couldn't get through to us. It is true, we had given them our American cell phone number, and not the number we were using on WhatsApp. However, we booked through this app —why not reach out here? It was very disappointing.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced due to the sudden suspension of boating in Varanasi. The decision was made by the local administration due to overcrowding and safety concerns, which were beyond our control. Our team reached out to inform you about the situation, and we appreciate your understanding at that time. However, we regret any disappointment this may have caused in your travel plans. Your experience matters to us, and we would love the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Please feel free to reach out if there’s anything we can do to make it up to you.
