Varanasi: Overnight Private Tour with Boat Ride & Aarti

Immerse yourself in the spiritual energy of Varanasi on a private overnight tour. Witness the Ganga Aarti ceremony, glide along the Ganges, and explore the ancient alleys of the city.
Begin your journey with a chauffeured luxury transfer to your premier accommodation—the palatial Taj Nadesar Palace or the serene, heritage BrijRama Palace on the ghats.

Board a private wooden boat and glide along the Ganges as the sun mellows. With cushioned comfort and a bespoke herbal welcome drink, your guide deciphers the architectural poetry of the ghats and the life unfolding upon them.

From a premium, reserved space, witness the mesmerizing fire ceremony without the crowds. Your guide provides whispered commentary, revealing the profound meaning behind each ritual movement in an intimate setting.

Conclude the evening with an exclusive culinary experience—a private terrace dinner overlooking the ghats or a curated meal at a renowned restaurant like Varuna, featuring refined Awadhi and Benarasi cuisine.

Return to your private boat before first light. Glide through the ethereal mist, witnessing the city awaken and the sun perform its divine spectacle. Your guide illuminates the spiritual significance of the dawn.

Disembark for a guided stroll through the ancient galis (alleys). Discover hidden temples, centuries-old havelis, and vibrant street art, with a stop for a bespoke paan preparation.

Gain privileged access to the loom of a master Banarasi silk weaver. This is not a commercial stop, but a deep dive into an ancient craft, with an opportunity for ethically sourced, authentic acquisitions.

Return for a lavish breakfast and perhaps a rejuvenating spa treatment before your private departure, leaving with a sense of profound peace and connection.
