What you can expect

A Varanasi day tour typically includes a wide range of cultural, spiritual, and historical experiences. Here's a sample itinerary for a one-day tour of Varanasi:

Morning:
Sunrise Boat Ride: Start your day early with a peaceful boat ride on the Ganges River. Witness the city come alive with the soft glow of the rising sun. You'll have the opportunity to see the ghats, pilgrims performing rituals, and ancient temples from the water.

Dashashwamedh Ghat: After the boat ride, visit Dashashwamedh Ghat to witness the morning Ganga Aarti. This is a vibrant and spiritually charged ceremony where priests perform rituals, accompanied by chanting and music.
Mid-Morning:

Kashi Vishwanath Temple: Explore the iconic Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of the holiest Hindu temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Be prepared for a unique and spiritually enriching experience.

Banaras Hindu University (BHU): Visit the BHU campus, one of the largest residential universities in Asia. You can explore the Bharat Kala Bhavan Museum and the New Vishwanath Temple within the campus.
Lunch:

Local Cuisine: Savour traditional Varanasi cuisine at a local restaurant or enjoy a thali meal, featuring a variety of regional dishes. ( At Your Own Cost)

Afternoon:
Sarnath: Drive to Sarnath, located just a short distance from Varanasi. Sarnath is a significant Buddhist pilgrimage site where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon. Explore the ancient ruins, visit the Dhamek Stupa, and the Sarnath Museum to see exquisite Buddhist artefacts.

Late Afternoon:
Visit Silk Weaving Centre: Varanasi is renowned for its silk weaving. You can visit a silk weaving centre to witness the intricate process of creating beautiful Banarasi silk sarees.
