DAY 1: DELHI TO VARANASI BY MORNING FLIGHT – EVENING GANGA AARTI EXPERIENCE
Begin your spiritual journey with an early morning flight from Delhi to Varanasi. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by our representative at the airport and transferred to your hotel for check-in and freshening up.

In the evening, take a leisurely stroll through the narrow lanes of Varanasi’s old city. These winding streets are alive with the sound of temple bells, the aroma of incense, and the vibrant colors of daily life. Street vendors, traditional customs, and the timeless atmosphere will transport you to a bygone era.

As dusk approaches, head to the banks of the Ganges River at Dashashwamedh Ghat to witness the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti. This sacred ritual, performed by priests offering light and prayers to the river, is accompanied by chanting, ringing bells, and the flickering glow of oil lamps. You can also experience the magic of the boat aarti at night, where the illuminated ghats and serene waters create an unforgettable spiritual ambiance.

DAY 2: SUNRISE BOAT RIDE, KASHI VISHWANATH TEMPLE & SARNATH – RETURN TO DELHI
Start your day before sunrise with a tranquil boat ride on the Ganges. As the first light of dawn touches the river, watch the life along the ghats awaken—fishermen, pilgrims, and locals beginning their day. The view of the sun rising over the river is both peaceful and inspiring.
