Boat Ride in Varanasi one of the most fascinating places on earth is Varanasi. This ancient, holy city is thought to be older than 5000 years old, according to certain accounts. If this is accurate, it makes it the oldest city in the world!

However, the well-known Varanasi Ghats on the Ganges River are what entice both Hindu pilgrims and foreign visitors to the city in large numbers. For Hindus in India, these are the holiest cremation grounds. The Ganges River in this location receives the ashes of about 100 000 people annually, according to best estimates.

I would strongly advise against foregoing a Varanasi morning river boat trip if you want to properly appreciate the ghats and the sacred Ganges River’s majesty, wonder, and strength. I’ll briefly go over all the information you need to know in this guide, including how to hire a boat, what to expect, where to go, and a few pointers for having a good time on the Ganges morning boat ride.
