Board a private boat at Sant Ravidas Ghat in Nagwa — the wide, modern ghat just south of Assi, with easy road access for cars and buses.
Sant Ravidas Ghat is in Nagwa, at the southern edge of Varanasi just beyond Assi Ghat. It's a large, modern ghat built in honour of the 15th-century poet-saint Ravidas, who was born in Varanasi, with a memorial park beside the river.
Its wide steps and road access make it one of the easiest places to board, especially for large groups, families with elderly members and anyone arriving by car or tour bus. It's a common boarding point for bigger boats such as the AC Cruise, and from here every ride heads north past Assi Ghat along the full riverfront.
Cars and tour buses can reach the ghat area directly.
Wide, open steps for comfortable boarding.
A common boarding point for cruise and larger boats.
Head north past Assi Ghat as the sun rises.
Every boat is private — booked only for your group. Choose the boat that fits your group size and budget; we confirm availability at Ravidas Ghat for your date on WhatsApp.
