    Must visit but not during and post rains

    Do visit it and do be the part of the grand Ganga Aarti. Visiting during and post rains is not recommended as the waters comes to the ghats and you do not enjoy the ghats.

    Tourist trap

    It was once an overwhelming place, nowadays a tourist trap, a hawkers’ hole. Do your own thing, pray, watch but please forget and forgive those who will try to take advantage of you. Then it will be a real experience.

    Dasaswamedha Ghat is one of the most popular ghats in Varanasi. This is very close to the main temple. This is the ghat that hosts Ganga Aarti every evening starting at 7pm everyday.

    “Evening Ritual”

    This is the main ghat of Varanasi. So happening and crowded during the evening Ritual. What a good vibes and enthusiasm during the ganga aarti.
