Itinerary

  • Dasaswamedh Ghat

    Before dawn rise, we will start our day with a boat ride from Varanasi's main and busiest ghat, Dashashwamedh. You will feel overwhelmed by the beauty of the sunrise and the magic light that bathes the historical palaces and temples on the banks, enjoying for sure witnessing local life and photographing the vibrant activity, full of colour and tradition, on the ghats: pilgrims and locals taking the sacred bath, praying, doing ceremony, washing clothes, chatting. Shadus, Babas… A gift for senses!

    2 hours

  • Manikarnika Ghat

    After going to your hotel for a short nap, I will pick you up again and we will continue exploring Varanasi. We begin the second part of the tour at Manikarnika, where death is celebrated. Above the main burning ghat of Varanasi, one of the holiest cremation sites along the Ganges River, from the best place to observing and photographing, I will explain to you in detail about the Hindu sacred rituals of death. From there, we will head to the old town to discover the small and colourful alleys of the center, historical palaces, sacred temples, traditional ashrams, bazaar and local markets...
