This flight-based Varanasi overnight tour from Delhi offers you a great chance to reach the sacred steps, witness the captivating Ganga Aarti, and take a boat ride on the Ganges' holy water while learning more about Varanasi's cultural and religious identity.
Day 01: Delhi to Varanasi – Ganga Aarti Experience
You will begin the evening by taking a stroll through Varanasi's historic alleys. The sounds of temple bells, the scent of incense, and the hues of everyday life filled these spiraling buildings. Because of the street vendors and religious traditions, you might feel as though you've traveled back in time while strolling through these lanes.
You will travel to the Ganga's banks in the evening to witness the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat. This entails priests offering prayers and light to the river, where the daily ritual is performed. The setting is reverent, so it is peaceful.
An unforgettable sight is the close proximity of the oil lamps, which are continuously swinging while the sun sets and monks chant and bells ring in the background. At night, Varanasi's ghats can be enjoyed with boat aarti, which is both lovely and evocative of a spiritual atmosphere. Spend the night in Varanasi.
Day 02: Sunrise Boat Ride, Kashi Vishwanath Temple & Sarnath – Return to Delhi
You will be taken to see Kashi Vishwanath Temple, one of Lord Shiva's twelve jyotirlingas, after the boat ride. People regularly flock to this temple, which is one of the oldest places of worship in Varanasi and is essential to the Hindu faith. For those who are spiritually inclined, your guide will provide additional information about the temple's background and significance. Here, you will also be able to pray.
After visiting the temple, head back to your hotel for a speedy check-out. Sarnath, which is only a short drive from Varanasi, is the next stop. Since Lord Buddha delivered his first sermon after achieving enlightenment, Sarnath is considered a sacred place for Buddhists. You will learn more about the history and teachings of Buddhism by touring the Dhamek Stupa, Chaukhandi Stupa, and the Sarnath Archaeological Museum.
You will be driven back to the airport for your flight back to Delhi after touring Sarnath. Returning to Delhi by late evening with recollections of Varanasi's enduring allure, spirituality, and cultural diversity marks the end of your spiritual journey.
