Varanasi Evening Walk Tour with Ganga Aarti

Pick up from the local hotel. Start your Varanasi Walk Tour through the numbers of narrow lanes and by-lanes, which runs like a maze across the city of Varanasi. And the best way to explore Varanasi is on foot. You will start at the Godowlia market, one of the oldest and most popular markets in Varanasi, offering wholesale to retail goods. Continue walking the narrow lanes of Varanasi and sight different bazaars/ market areas. Now pass through Varanasi city’s most famous Gali or lane, Vishwanath Gali, which also leads to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple of Lord Shiva. Then pass the vibrant Bangles Market, the Khoya Gali, the Thatheri Gali, and the Kachori Gali - one of Varanasi’s famous landmarks and a much sought after spot for the number of shops selling the popular Indian fried snack early in the morning - Kachodis. Also pass by the Nariyal Bazaar, the Kites Market, Dal Mandi, Kinari Bazar - the wedding market, where one can find all the items required for the occasion.

Continuing further, the walk reaches the final destination of your tour, to the much-awaited Evening Ganga Aarti at the Ganges. An Aarti is a Hindu prayer ceremony paying homage to the deities chanting mantras, offering flowers and lighting wick lamps. You’ll watch a one-hour spectacle of a well-choreographed ceremony where priests perform prayers with huge lamps in their hands and chanting holy mantras. After the Ganga Aarti is finished, you’ll be dropped back to your hotel. Taking back wonderful memories of the tour, the tour ends here.
