A classic Kashi plan
Varanasi Itinerary
Your written itinerary times each stop to its darshan and aarti window.
Station or airport meet and greet with porter assistance, check in to your named hotel. Evening reserved seats on a private boat for the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, seen from the water rather than the crush of the steps.
Pre-dawn sunrise boat along the ghats and the Subah-e-Banaras morning, then Kashi Vishwanath Sugam Darshan, the old-city galis, and Sarnath in the afternoon before your onward journey.
A calmer third day: Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, the New Vishwanath Temple and BHU campus, Tulsi Manas Temple, and time in the Sarai Mohana weavers' houses for a genuine Banarasi silk purchase.
One day covers the headline Kashi and Sarnath, two days sees the full Ganga Aarti and old city, and three days adds Sankat Mochan, BHU and the silk houses at an unhurried pace. Not sure of the shape yet? Send your dates and party to Experience My India and it returns a one, two or three day plan, priced per person and sequenced by darshan timing.

Named before you book
Varanasi Hotels by Category
On overnight packages the hotel and its tier are named before you pay, across three categories, all close to the ghats.
Premium 4-Star
Hotel Madin, Cantonment

The vehicle does not change by tier — every guest rides the same private Innova Crysta. If a named hotel is sold out for your dates, Experience My India names the replacement on the same quote, and you approve it before paying.
Honest, not sold
The Kashi Vishwanath Darshan Truth
Sugam Darshan (₹250 to ₹300 on the trust's own site) is real and official, cutting a two to four hour queue to 15 to 30 minutes, and it's included in every package as a pass-through at the trust's price.
Sparsh Darshan and the 3 AM Mangala Aarti are official, scarce and booked weeks ahead in season; Luxury-tier guests get priority coordination.
The evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh is free; a reserved boat seat avoids the crush of the steps.
Anyone selling a secret VIP darshan line for cash is inventing it — there is no unofficial paid line.
Plan around the seasons
Best Time to Visit Varanasi
October to March is best for temple visits and the ghats on foot. Festival dates are special but crowded and pricier — hotel rates multiply on these nights, so plan ahead.
Winter (best)
Oct to Mar
Cool mornings, ideal for the sunrise boat and comfortable evening aartis.
Dev Deepawali
Nov · surge up to 4x
The city's most spectacular night; ghat-side rooms book out 6+ months ahead.
Maha Shivratri
Feb / Mar
A major Kashi Vishwanath occasion; book 4 to 6 weeks out.
Summer & monsoon
Apr to Sep
Base season, hot and humid, the lowest prices of the year.
Getting there
How to Reach Varanasi
By Air
Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport at Babatpur, about 25 km from the ghats. Experience My India completes the journey by private car.
By Train
Two main stations, Varanasi Junction and Banaras, both well connected. Experience My India meets your train there.
By Road
The least-transfer route to and from your city is planned at cost, with a private Innova Crysta included in every package.
Good to know
Varanasi Traveller Tips
- •Phones and cameras are restricted near the Kashi Vishwanath sanctum; carry minimal and use lockers.
- •Dress modestly and be ready to remove footwear and leather items at temples.
- •The Ganga Aarti gets crowded from the ghat steps; a reserved boat seat avoids the crush.
- •Sparsh Darshan and the 3 AM Mangala Aarti are official and scarce — book weeks ahead in season.
- •Nidhivan-style dusk closures don't apply here, but Sarnath is best seen before late afternoon light fades.
- •Anyone offering a paid 'VIP line' in cash at Kashi Vishwanath is inventing it — only the trust's official Sugam Darshan is real.

October to March is best, with cool mornings ideal for the sunrise boat and comfortable evenings for the Ganga Aarti. Dev Deepawali in November is the city's most spectacular night. April to September is base season with the lowest prices.
