Boat Ride

Banaras

Glide along the Ganges at dawn in a wooden rowing boat — the most iconic Varanasi experience. From the water, you see the entire riverfront ghats panorama: terracotta-coloured palaces, temples, and cremation grounds rising from the curved western bank as the sun emerges behind you from the flat eastern bank.

1–2 hours₹300–₹800 per boat (negotiate fixed price)Sunrise (5:30–7:30 AM)

Pro tip from your tour advisor

A 2-hour sunrise boat from Assi Ghat to Raj Ghat and back passes all major ghats. Negotiate the price before boarding. Evening aarti boats are equally popular — book 1 hour before the aarti.
