Banaras is not a city you sightsee — it is one you slow down for. Our Banaras tour is choreographed around the river's rhythm: a sunrise boat ride while the ghats wake, an unhurried Kashi Vishwanath darshan with queue assistance, lanes of Banarasi silk and kachori stalls, and the grand Ganga aarti that ends every day like a ceremony.
Tour highlights
- Private sunrise boat ride from Assi to Manikarnika ghat
- Kashi Vishwanath darshan with local guide & queue assistance
- Sarnath excursion — where Buddha gave his first sermon
- Reserved seating for the Dashashwamedh Ghat evening aarti
- Banarasi silk & rudraksha bazaar walk with our host
