⛵ River & Ghat Experiences · Varanasi
About Evening Ganga Boat Ride
Float on the sacred river as the ghats light up at dusk — diyas on the water, aarti smoke drifting across, the city glowing gold against the darkening sky. A deeply romantic and spiritual experience.
Ask the boatman for a flower diya to float on the river (₹20)
