⛵ River & Ghat Experiences · Varanasi
About Sunrise Boat Ride on the Ganga
Row slowly past all 84 ghats at dawn — mist rising from the river, pilgrims bathing, temples reflecting in the water. Varanasi's most iconic experience that every visitor must do.
Book a private wooden rowboat for the best experience; avoid motorboats
