We thoroughly enjoyed the morning boat tour of Varanasi. It is worth the 4 am wake up call. We started out with watching the ganga aarti (a more intimate affair that the evening sessions) followed by a serene boat ride on the river and a walk by the alley ways. Our tour guide Shri Vinod Pandeyji was generous with his stories of the rich heritage and tips on making our temple visits a truly soulful experience. Through his calm and gentle style and deep knowledge of the city he gave us the quintessential kashi experience in mind body and spirit. I highly recommend this tour.
