Overview

We will be part of a perfect, sacred and wonderful journey during our 3-day Private trip to Varanasi. We will allow you to capture the beautiful Varanasi and Ghats. You may have heard of places and people, but you will live there. According to Hindu mythology, taking a bath in the holy river Ganges is for cleaning their sin. We usually go for a bath especially in Kartik Purnima or during a solar /lunar eclipse in Dashashwamedh Ghat. Usually people spend their time having peace. The hand rowing boat ride starts from Dashashwamedh Ghat and goes to Harishchandra ghat & Manikarnika ghat and ends at Dashashwamedh Ghat. That is the best part of your life which you will never forget. Varanasi is also known as the city of temples so we will take you to the most popular temples which are Bharat Mata Mandir, Sankat Mochan, Durga Mandir, Ganga Aarti, Kashi Vishwanath Mandir. Highlights • Sarnath, • Ganga Aarti. • Rowing Boat ride on river Ganges, Sankat mochan, Manas Mandir. • Heritage walk.

A journey of a lifetime.

Published on Mar, 2025

"We had a wonderful trip to Varanasi, Prayagraj, Ayodhya and Lucknow and we owe it all to yattri.com. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. While we were disappointed with the hotel in Chitrakoot and faced minor issues in Lucknow, we appreciate that YATTRI.COM acknowledged the issues and apologized. Our tour planner, Ms. Varsha Vishwakarma, created a perfect itinerary based on our preferences. She was patient, knowledgeable, and ensured everything was well-organized. We especially want to thank Mr. Bablu Yadav, our exceptional driver and guide. He was kind, humorous, and made us feel safe and comfortable. Additionally, we thank Mr. Pradip Yadav from A1 Cab Services in Lucknow. Yattri.Com introduced us to him and he provided excellent and reliable service. We also thank Mr. Kasif, the managing director, for his excellent support. He was helpful, humble, and promptly resolved any minor issues. YATTRI.COM provided us with a truly memorable and comfortable trip. We highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a well-planned, personalized, and reasonably priced travel experience."

Magical 3 days in Varanasi with Sonny

Published on Feb, 2025

Sonny was a great host and tour guide. From having his driver meet us at the airport and taking to the hotel where we met Sonny and headed to the Ganges River to participate in the spectacular event of sunset boat ride where thousands of people were there. The next morning Sonny met us at hotel at 6:30 to experience sunrise along the Ganges and again seeing thousands bathing in the holy waters. After a 2 hour breakfast and break, Sonny picked us up and we did a car tour of the highlights on Varanasi included many sites and temples. We also went to a silk factory and saw classic silk weaving machines and of course had to buy some unique silk items to bring home. We then had a classic lunch together and the tour day was over. The next morning Sonny was in the lobby to make sure we got to our driver to take us back to the airport. Sonny was a great guide, took his time with us and made sure we got a full taste of Varanasi in 39 hours. Him you are going to Varanasi pick this tour and use Sonny to make your trip to this historical city magical.

Great Time in Varanasi with Sonny

Published on Feb, 2025

We wanted to come to Varanasi as part of a multi week tour of India. We found this 3 day tour with Sonny and scheduled it. When we arrived at the airport the driver was there to meet us and we drove in congested traffic but met Sonny waiting for us at the hotel. We walked to the river and it was an awesome view of the multitude of people there for sunset by the river. He arranged for a boat to take on a once in a lifetime experience. He took his time and let us experience the majestic views and surroundings. He brought us back to the hotel and told us he’d meet us in the morning at 6:30 am for the sunrise cruise. In the lobby at 6:30 we walked us back to the Ganges River, walked among the masses and then got on a boat to experience sunrise along Varanasi’s unique shoreline. When we came back to hotel for breakfast and relaxation until 10:30 when we started our city driving tour. Sonny took us to the highlights of the university and the many temples throughout the city. We also went to a silk factory and saw traditional silk looms in action and then of course to the shop where beautiful fabrics were displayed for us and a few purchases. After tours and shopping we had lunch together and then our time was over. His driver will pick us up in the morning and take us to the airport to depart. This overall experience was as outlined and exceeded our expectations. Sonny is a great tour provider and will make your time in Varanasi memorable. He was prompt and knowledgeable and took good care of us.

Blissful trip!
