Sightseeing Program

The standard time to start the tour is 09:00 AM. However, you can select your own time. Vehicle is for 10 Hours fair user policy and the suggested tour itinerary includes under mention places: 1. Boat ride on the Holy River Ganges (By direct payment) We are starting with something enchanting on the local Varanasi one day tour. In a traditional boat ride across the river, the majesty of the holy Ganga River is always best understood. It's a must-have Varanasi experience. The Ganges River runs throughout the city of Banaras, where you can also see several famous ghats along the way. 2. Kashi Vishwanath Temple On the western bank of the Ganga in Varanasi is Kashi Vishwanath Temple. For Hindus and Lord Shiva, this temple is one of the most sacred temples. The Temple's Jyotirlinga is also one of India's most revered Jyotirlingas. Since it is one of Varanasi's most famous temple, the temple is home to approximately 3,000 people each day. In almost every holy Hindi scripture, the Kashi Vishwanath Temple was glorified, making it an extremely integral part of your visits to Varanasi. 3. Sankat Mochan Temple In the early 1900s Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple was constructed by Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya. The shrine lies by the Assi River. Each year a special show called Shobha Yatra is organized from the Durga Kund to the Sankat Mochan church. The Hanuman Jayanti festival is celebrated with great enthusiasm each year. The famous laddoo from the temple, their taste is really extraordinary, will be served for Prasad! Beware of the notorious apes who are always ready to steal their belongings while you are at the Sankat Mochan Temple. Don't tease them. Don't tease them. When left to their own devices, they are completely harmless. 4. Durga Mata Temple The Monkey Temple, also called Durga Mata Temple, is located just 2 km from Banaras Hindu University due to the presence of hundreds of monkeys at the temple. This magnificent Durga temple is located on the famous Durga Kund. 5. Bharat Mata Temple In the Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth, Varanasi, is situated the Bharat Mata Temple. This unique temple was constructed by Babu Shiv Prasad Gupt and is dedicated to Bharat Mata. The temple was opened in 1936 and houses a glorious marble idol of Bharat Mata. 6. Banaras Hindu University The Banaras Hindu University of Madan Mohan Malviya was established in 1916. Besides the fact that Banaras Hindu University is a leading higher education institute in India, it is also visited by hundreds of tourists every day. The temple of New Vishwanath is dedicated to Lord Shiva and looks picturesque on the banks of the Ganga River. It seems that the temple deity himself provides the entire campus with an air of peace and calm. 7. Evening Aarti Something which we can't afford to miss at all costs is the evening Aarti or Ganga Aarti, held in Varanasi's ghats every evening, as part of the tour of local Varanasi. Dashashwamedh Ghat is the most spectacular of them. The aarti begins on winter evenings at exactly 6 p.m. and on summer evenings at 7 p.m. From the Ghat steps, the rooftops, the shops, the boats that fill the river, you will see Aarti. The pooja is led by seven pandits, and the ritual includes rhythmic singing in the praises of the river Ganges of mantras, hymns and prayers. Note: This is a suggested itinerary and we can customize it according to your preference.
