The Ghats: Varanasi is synonymous with its iconic ghats, the series of steps leading down to the Ganges River. Each ghat holds its own significance, whether it’s the bustling Dashashwamedh Ghat, where the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti ceremony takes place every evening, or the serene Assi Ghat, where one can witness the confluence of the Assi and Ganges rivers. Taking a boat ride along the ghats during sunrise or sunset offers a surreal experience, as the golden hues of the sun cast a spellbinding glow over the city and its sacred waters.
