Two days in Varanasi
A calm plan for a first visit, from dawn boats to Sarnath.
Day one: a sunrise boat from Assi, breakfast back at the hotel, a rest, and an afternoon at BHU and Sankat Mochan. In the evening, the Ganga Aarti from a boat.
Day two: Kashi Vishwanath early in the morning, a walk through the lanes for kachori and lassi, then a half day at Sarnath. Dinner at Art of Spice.
Tell us your dates and we will arrange the car, the boatman and the timings for each stop.
