Day by day

Detailed Itinerary

6 days / 5 Nights

Innova pickup from Varanasi airport or station, check-in at the Taj Ganges or Hilton Varanasi. Evening orientation walk through Bangali Tola to Dashashwamedh for the daily Ganga Aarti.

Honest note: this is your quietest aarti of the week; from tomorrow the crowds build daily.

Sightseeing included
Breakfast included

Morning Kashi Vishwanath sugam darshan through the official paid corridor, slot held by us. Afternoon at leisure.

Evening: opening ceremony and first concert at Rajendra Prasad Ghat from the upper steps. From the ground: the opening evening is the connoisseur's evening, the artists are fresh and the ghat is not yet packed.

Sightseeing included
Breakfast included

Morning boat past the bathing ghats while Kartik snan is underway. Midday at the shilp mela with a guide who bargains in your language. Evening concert at the main stage.

Sightseeing included
Breakfast included

Sarnath half-day by Innova: Dhamek Stupa, the Ashokan pillar and the museum, unhurried. Evening concert.

Sightseeing included
Breakfast included

Slow morning. Optional temple circuit: Sankat Mochan, Durga Kund, Kal Bhairav. The country-boat race falls in the daytime programme this week; we time the day around it. Early dinner and early night; tomorrow starts at 4 am and it is worth it.

Sightseeing included
Breakfast included

4:30 am: Kartik Purnima snan at the ghat, the most sacred bath of the year, with our guide handling the ritual steps in your language and the snan kit provided. Morning rest at the hotel.

By 2:30 pm the Innova positions you ghat-side; vehicles cannot approach after 3 pm.

Evening: Dev Deepawali from your reserved boat, holding position facing the Dashashwamedh to Rajendra Prasad stretch while more than a million diyas come alight. Late transfer back, or extend a night at the same daily rate.

Transparent pricing: one flat day rate

We price every tour the same way: ₹12,500 per day for two guests, covering the five-star room with breakfast, the private Innova Crysta, your guide and the VIP arrangements. No festival surge, no demand pricing, no "rates may vary" footnote.

Your exact price is confirmed in writing before any advance is taken, and the cancellation and refund terms are stated on that written quote, so you know both before paying anything. Boat positions on Dev Deepawali night are a fixed inventory across the whole city; our rate does not rise as the date nears, but the inventory does run out.

Why choose Experience My India

  1. 50,000+ guests hosted since 2018.
  2. 40+ years guiding this belt: Rajeev Sharma, Varanasi-born, plans every festival departure.
  3. Telugu and Kannada guiding, alongside Hindi and English: the only Dev Deepawali package built for South Indian packages.
  4. Five-star, fixed and named: Taj Ganges or Hilton Varanasi and a private Innova Crysta on every package, not "similar category" surprises.
  5. Honest access only: no fake VIP aarti seats (they do not exist), no tout boats; sugam darshan through the official corridor, nothing else sold as "VIP".
  6. Direct on WhatsApp, no hidden charges. Rated 4.5 stars on Google and TripAdvisor.

This package is NOT for you if...

  • You want the diya night only. Book a single-evening boat instead; this is a six-day cultural and ritual arc and the price reflects it.
  • You are hunting the cheapest seat. This is a five-star package: Taj or Hilton, private car, reserved boat. Good budget one-night operators exist; we are not competing with them.
  • You cannot do a 4 am start or 2 to 3 km on uneven ghat steps. Day 6 has both. Tell us on WhatsApp and we build a gentler senior plan honestly.
  • You decide in the last two weeks. Boat inventory on Kartik Purnima is fixed citywide; late bookings get edge positions or nothing, whoever you book with.

Practical prep

Dress code: shoulders and knees covered at temples; carry a shawl for the pre-dawn snan. Phones are deposited before the Kashi Vishwanath sanctum.

November evenings on the water are cold; pack a proper layer.

Elderly pilgrims: the longest continuous walk is the Day 6 ghat approach; wheelchairs cannot reach the lower steps, and we plan around this honestly.

No permits are needed for Varanasi; we handle the darshan slots.

Frequently Asked

FAQ · Ganga Mahotsav + Dev Deepawali Package: 6 Days in Varanasi

Everything you need to know about your pilgrimage with Experience My India.

Everything in the table above: Taj Ganges or Hilton Varanasi with breakfast, private Innova Crysta, the reserved Dev Deepawali boat, five festival evenings, sugam darshan, VIP arrangements and a guide in your language. Flights, lunch and dinner are excluded; dinner can be added on request.
Kartik Purnima, Tuesday, 24 November 2026. Dates and the night plan live on our Dev Deepawali guide.
Yes: the 3-day finale version is ₹37,500 per couple, covering the last two Mahotsav evenings, the snan and the diya night. The six-day arc is what we recommend first.
Our flat rate of ₹12,500 per day covers two guests. Solo travellers and groups of three or more get a written quote on WhatsApp using the same per-day model.
Your position is reserved and fixed either way, facing the Dashashwamedh to Rajendra Prasad stretch; tell us your group size on WhatsApp and we confirm the boat arrangement in writing. On this night, position matters more than boat size.
Boat positions and rooms are the city's scarcest inventory each Kartik. Two to three months ahead is realistic; our price stays flat but the inventory runs out.
Yes. Rajeev Sharma has guided in Hindi, Telugu and Kannada for over four decades; the Kartik Purnima rituals are explained in your language, not translated after the fact.
No. It is UP Tourism's free public festival; what we add is seating logistics, timing and a guide. Anyone selling "festival tickets" at the ghat is not official.
The pace is easy except Day 6. Tell us ages and mobility on WhatsApp and we adapt the plan honestly, including skipping the snan crowd.

Born and raised in Braj Bhoomi. I have been guiding pilgrims through Mathura Vrindavan since 2014 — that is more than a decade of yatras, every week, through every season. Experience My India was built on one belief: a well-planned yatra is a deeply felt one.

Policies for Ganga Mahotsav + Dev Deepawali Package: 6 Days in Varanasi

Please review the following policies carefully before confirming your yatra.


Processing Time: Approved refunds will be processed within 7 to 10 working days via the original payment method.

Unused Services: No refunds will be provided for any part of the sightseeing missed by the guest due to late arrival or personal choice during the tour.


We understand that travel plans can change. Our cancellation slabs are as follows: 48 Hours or More before the tour: Full Refund of the advance amount (minus a small 5% processing fee/bank charges). 24 to 48 Hours before the tour: 50% of the advance amount will be refunded. Less than 24 Hours or No Show: No refund will be provided as the vehicle and driver are already blocked for your service. Peak Dates: For bookings during major festivals like Holi, Janmashtami, or Radha Ashtami, all advance payments are Non-Refundable due to extreme demand.


To provide competitive local pricing while maintaining high service standards, we follow a split-payment structure: Advance Deposit: A 50% advance payment of the total package cost is required to process the booking. Balance Amount: The remaining balance must be paid to the coordinator or driver upon arrival or at the start of the tour. Mode of Payment: We accept UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), Bank Transfers, and Cash. Exclusions: Please note that E-Rickshaw charges (for narrow lanes near Banke Bihari Temple), Guide fees, and Temple donations are typically not included in the package and should be paid directly in cash.


We want to ensure your spot is secured so you don't miss the divine Darshan timings. Booking Confirmation: A booking is considered "Confirmed" only after the receipt of the initial advance payment. Voucher Issuance: Once the payment is verified, we will issue a Digital Confirmation Voucher via WhatsApp/Email containing your driver details, vehicle number, and reporting time. Reporting Time: For Same Day Tours, guests are expected to report at the designated pickup point (Hotel/Railway Station) at the scheduled time. A maximum waiting period of 30 minutes is allowed, after which the tour may be treated as a "No Show."
