Book Boat for Dev Diwali Varanasi
Flying or training into Varanasi just for Dev Diwali? Here's how to line up your boat booking with the rest of your travel and stay.
Planning Your Boat Booking Around Your Travel
Coming from outside Varanasi, your best move is sending the boat enquiry the moment your travel dates lock in. That gives our team the most room to check availability and work out a reporting time that fits around your itinerary.
Getting from Your Hotel to the Ghat
Most Varanasi hotels sit within easy reach of the ghats, and an auto-rickshaw or taxi will get you there without much fuss. Once your booking is confirmed, we'll send your exact reporting ghat so you can work out the travel time from your hotel.
Arriving Early
The ghats fill up fast on Dev Diwali evening, so build in extra time before your reporting slot — the lanes near the riverfront get busy and walking through them takes longer than usual.
