Varanasi, the land of ghats and temples is revered as one of the holiest places in the country and a trip to this place wouldn’t be completed without a morning tour of the city. Bask in culture and spirituality with a morning tour of this mystical city that comes alive with the first ray of sun! Your tour will start with your guide picking you up from your hotel at 5 or 6 AM (depending upon the season). From there on you’ll proceed to the famous Assi ghat where you will witness the gorgeous sunrise with the famous Ganga aarti (a devotional ritual performed by the priests that use oil lamps). Following this, indulge in a classical dance session where artists show their devotion through an ancient art form.
Next up, get ready to stretch some muscles in a Yoga session by the ghats, post which a beautiful boat ride in the Ganges awaits you. Cross the picturesque ghats along the banks of this holy river and witness how hundreds of people gather to give their prayers. Different ghats have different stories and mythological tales related to them and as you cross them your guide will tell you the significance of the major ones. Ending the boat ride, head for the last leg of your tour which comprises a heritage walk through the oldest part of Varanasi. Make your way from the narrow alleys of this ancient city and learn about how everyday life works in the most ancient city.

Due to floods the ghats were closed so sarnath tour was arranged. It was a wonderful experience. Evening Aarti was wonderful. The authentic bhati choka was wonderful. The tour guide Bhawna Mohinani's efforts were really commendable. Her knowledge about city and religion was wonderful. On the whole it was a wonderful experience.
