Dev Diwali Boat Booking Varanasi
Varanasi's ghats are the heart of Dev Diwali — here's what to know about the ghats, boat departure points, and how to enquire for a boat along this stretch of the Ganga.
Varanasi's Ghats on Dev Diwali
Varanasi's ghats run in a long, continuous stretch along the western bank of the Ganga. On Dev Diwali, a large portion of this stretch is lit with diyas, which is why a boat ride is such a popular way to take in the scale of the illumination — you can move along the river rather than staying at one ghat.
Well-known ghats along this stretch include Assi Ghat, Dashashwamedh Ghat and Manikarnika Ghat, among many others. The exact ghats visible from your boat depend on your route, timing and river conditions on the day.
Where Do Boats Depart From?
Boats commonly depart from ghats such as Assi Ghat or Dashashwamedh Ghat, but your specific reporting ghat will be confirmed by our booking team based on your booking and the boat type you choose. You're also welcome to mention a preferred pickup ghat in your enquiry.
