Experience the magic of Dev Diwali with an exclusive boat ride on the Ganges. Sail past all 84 ghats, each glowing with thousands of diyas, creating a heavenly and unforgettable sight. Stop at Chet Singh Fort for a dazzling laser light show and at Kashi Vishwanath Temple to witness an awe-inspiring projection show at the temple's doors.
Enjoy unobstructed views and the best seat in the city for Dev Diwali 2025. To top it off, the sky bursts into vibrant fireworks on both sides of the river, with the diya-lit ghats casting a magical glow on the water.
Choose from boat rides with up to 15, 25, 40, or 50 guests, offering a personalized journey at every group size. Every guest is provided with life jackets to ensure safety throughout the ride. A qualified lifeguard will be present throughout the tour for added safety and peace of mind.
Savor authentic Banarasi food prepared with local flavors, rather than bland packed snacks. Your onboard lifeguard is also a research historian and mythology expert, ready to answer all your questions about Varanasi's rich culture and history.
