Overview

We will be part of a perfect, sacred and wonderful journey during our 3-day Private trip to Varanasi. We will allow you to capture the beautiful Varanasi and Ghats. You may have heard of places and people, but you will live there.

According to Hindu mythology, taking a bath in the holy river Ganges is for cleaning their sin. We usually go for a bath especially in Kartik Purnima or during a solar /lunar eclipse in Dashashwamedh Ghat. Usually people spend their time having peace. The hand rowing boat ride starts from Dashashwamedh Ghat and goes to Harishchandra ghat & Manikarnika ghat and ends at Dashashwamedh Ghat. That is the best part of your life which you will never forget. Varanasi is also known as the city of temples so we will take you to the most popular temples which are Bharat Mata Mandir, Sankat Mochan, Durga Mandir, Ganga Aarti, Kashi Vishwanath Mandir.

Highlights
• Sarnath,
• Ganga Aarti.
