Boats and stone ghats along the Ganges in Varanasi

Overview

Varanasi At A Glance

Varanasi has stood on the Ganges for thousands of years. Few cities anywhere have been continuously inhabited for as long. Nearly ninety ghats line the riverfront, each built for a different ritual — bathing, cremation, prayer. A private sunrise boat ride is the classic way to see them, with the city waking up along the water's edge. Kashi Vishwanath, one of Hinduism's most sacred temples, sits a short walk back from the ghats. In the evening, priests perform a fire ritual on the riverbank that draws crowds to Dashashwamedh Ghat every night. Sarnath, where the Buddha gave his first sermon, is a short private drive away.
