Watch the ghats wake up — bathers, morning prayers and soft light on the river — on a private boat from Assi to Manikarnika.
Attend the dawn Aarti, chanting and music at Assi Ghat, then step onto your private boat for a sunrise ride along the ghats.

Plan your ride around the light — sunrise and the blue hour after sunset are best — with time to stop for shots.
Seasonal winter ride to see migratory gulls over the Ganga — a favourite with kids and photographers.
An evening ride and a Ganga Aarti ride are not the same: Aarti rides are timed to hold position off the ghat during the ceremony, while a plain evening ride is a sunset cruise past the ghats.
Cruise past the ghats at dusk, then watch the Ganga Aarti from the water as the lamps are raised.

A smaller, calmer Aarti at the southern end of the ghats — good for families and elderly guests.
Choose any boat — motor boat, Bajra or AC Cruise — for the Aarti, with only your group aboard.
A golden-hour ride past the ghats without the Aarti add-on — board about an hour before sunset.
Every boat we book is private — pick the category that suits your group size, comfort and budget.
