    · July 24th, 2025
    This short but powerful trip gave us a deep insight into one of India’s oldest cities. From the moment we arrived, Anuj made sure we were comfortable and had a clear schedule. He arranged for a local guide who was very knowledgeable about the history and rituals. The boat ride at sunrise was breathtaking a must-do! And the ritual cremation at Manikarnika Ghat was humbling and spiritual. Shyam, our driver, made everything stress-free despite the chaotic traffic. He also suggested a fantastic street food spot we never would’ve found ourselves.

    Varanasi is unlike any place on earth — ancient, spiritual, and deeply moving. This exclusive 3-day tour gave us the perfect introduction to the soul of India. We were welcomed by Arun, who explained the itinerary in detail and even recommended a private Ganga boat ride at dawn. Our driver, Sukhveer, was exceptional — kind, respectful, and knew the city’s narrow alleys like the back of his hand. That was important in a place like Varanasi! Watching the evening Ganga Aarti was magical. We also visited Sarnath and explored the silk weaving areas. The hotel was right along the ghats, which gave us quiet but accessible views.

    Varanasi was everything we expected—chaotic, spiritual, and unforgettable. Raj at Memorable India put together a well-balanced 3-day plan that allowed us to explore, reflect, and rest. Our driver, Sukhveer, was courteous and patient as we visited ghats, temples, and markets. The sunrise boat ride and the Ganga Aarti were truly surreal experiences. Our local guide even took us to the silk-weaving alleys, which were mesmerizing. Thank you for organizing such a powerful cultural immersion.

    Varanasi exceeded all expectations! Witnessing the Aarti ceremony and exploring the narrow lanes was like stepping into another world. The boat ride along the Ganga provided breathtaking views of the ghats. Memorable India specially arrange famous Varanasi Street food chat, sweets, milk testing after the trip. This is ultimate test. This tour captures the essence of India’s spiritual heart.

    Stepping into Varanasi felt like stepping into history and spirituality. The Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat was a soul-stirring experience, and the sunrise boat ride was magical.

    I recently embarked on the 3-Days Varanasi Exclusive Tour and it was an unforgettable experience. Varanasi, one of India's oldest cities, is a treasure trove of spirituality, culture, and history. Day 1: We explored the iconic Kashi Vishwanath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and took a scenic boat ride along the Ganges River, witnessing the majestic ghats and vibrant street life. Day 2: We visited the ancient Sarnath, where Buddha delivered his first sermon, and the serene Bharat Mata Temple, dedicated to Mother India. The evening Ganga Aarti ceremony was a highlight, with thousands of lamps and chanting creating a mesmerizing atmosphere. Day 3: We delved into Varanasi's rich cultural heritage by visiting the Benaras Hindu University, exploring the narrow alleys and bustling markets, and indulging in local cuisine. Our guide, Rajesh, was knowledgeable and passionate about Varanasi's history and culture, making the experience even more enriching. Accommodations and food were excellent, with warm hospitality, I recommend choosing it.

    It had been a long time since I went boating with my friends, but it was an amazing experience. Seeing the ghats and the river from the boat was really fun, and the cool air and enchanting winter conditions made it even more special.
