Boating

At Shiv Kashi Tours, our boating services offer you a one-of-a-kind opportunity to experience the timeless beauty and spiritual depth of Varanasi. The Ganges River, revered as the lifeblood of the city, plays a central role in the daily lives and rituals of the locals. With our guided boat tours, you’ll have the chance to see Varanasi from an entirely new perspective, as you glide along its sacred waters and witness centuries-old traditions unfold before your eyes.

Whether you’re an early riser or prefer an evening adventure, our sunrise and sunset boat rides provide magical experiences. In the morning, as the first light touches the ghats, you’ll see devotees performing their daily rituals in the gentle glow of dawn. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the soft sounds of temple bells and prayers, creates a profound sense of serenity. In the evening, the famous Ganga Aarti takes place at Dashashwamedh Ghat, a mesmerizing spiritual ceremony that you can witness from the tranquility of the river.

Our knowledgeable boatmen and guides share fascinating insights into the significance of each ghat and temple as you pass by. From the bustling Dashashwamedh Ghat to the sacred Manikarnika Ghat, where cremation rites are performed, every stop offers a deeper understanding of Varanasi’s spiritual heart. You’ll also have the chance to witness the daily life along the riverbanks, where locals wash clothes, offer prayers, and conduct business as they have for centuries.
