Front row seats to Ganga Aarti without crowds

The boat captain anchored directly in front of the Dashashwamedh Aarti stage. We had tea and watched the entire Aarti from the river. Truly the best spiritual experience in Varanasi!

Magical sunrise cruise and bird feeding

We booked the morning sunrise motor boat. Hundreds of migratory birds flew around us and the sunrise view behind the temple spires was breathtaking. Life jackets provided and safe for kids.
