Description:
Discover the magic of Varanasi—one of the 7 holy cities of Hinduism—with a serene early morning boat cruise and city walking tour. Drift past the majestic and famous ghats that line the river banks before you explore the labyrinth of alleys that teem with life during the day.
Benefit from an early start as you board a boat and take in the dawn: an ethereal mist often hangs over the surface of the water, before the sun peeks over the horizon to gradually burn away the haze and reveal the grand ghats lining the miles of riverbanks. Gaze down the Ganges, centerpiece of the city, at the stretches of steps where sacred waters lap and religious rituals are performed.
Listen as your private guide enlightens you about cremation, bathing, and other intimate cultural ceremonies. Leave your vessel behind and continue on foot. Typically chaotic, this early part of day proves a calmer time to wander the warren of streets that border the ghats, and stroll past temples and mosques as you’re led through the narrow lanes.
