Where to start
What Dev Diwali Boat Booking Includes
"Dev Diwali" (also spelled Dev Deepawali) is the Varanasi festival held on Kartik Purnima, when the ghats along the Ganga are lit with diyas. A Dev Diwali boat booking enquiry lets you request a boat to view this illumination from the river rather than from a fixed point on land.
Shared booking
Individual seats alongside other travellers — a more affordable, per-seat option for solo travellers and smaller parties.
