Dev Diwali Boat Booking Varanasi
Everything about Dev Diwali centres on Varanasi's ghats. Here's what to know about them, where boats typically depart from, and how to send an enquiry for a ride along this stretch of the Ganga.
Varanasi's Ghats on Dev Diwali
The ghats run in one long, unbroken line along the western bank of the Ganga. On Dev Diwali, diyas cover a large stretch of it at once, which is exactly why a boat ride works so well here — you cover ground along the river instead of staying put at a single ghat.
Assi Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat and Manikarnika Ghat are among the better-known stops along this stretch, though plenty of others line the riverfront too. What you actually see from your boat comes down to your route, your timing and the river's condition that day.
Where Do Boats Depart From?
Assi Ghat and Dashashwamedh Ghat are the usual departure points, though our booking team confirms your specific reporting ghat once they know your booking and boat type. If you'd rather start from somewhere particular, just mention it in your enquiry.
