Kashi Vishwanath, the Ganga ghats and the evening aarti, with Sarnath, Prayagraj and Ayodhya if you wish. In Kartika Masam, Kashi is at its most beautiful: dawn snan, lamps on every ghat and Dev Deepawali on Kartika Purnima.
Every trip is based in Varanasi. Prayagraj and Ayodhya are optional additions.
Kartika is the month of lamps, and Kashi marks it more than anywhere. Our special package is planned around Kartika Purnima. The dates change each year, so we confirm them when you enquire.
Kartika snan — a dawn bath in the Ganga, kept up through the month of Kartika
Akashdeep — oil lamps hung high on bamboo poles above the ghats, a Kartika custom
Deepadanam — floating and lighting lamps on the Ganga at dusk
Dev Deepawali on Kartika Purnima — the ghats lit with lakhs of diyas
Special abhishekam and darshan at Kashi Vishwanath Temple
A boat ride at dusk to watch the lit ghats from the river
