Book the most complete Varanasi 1 Night 2 Days package with Visit Kashi — Varanasi's most trusted local travel operator. This all-in-one package includes 1 night hotel stay near the ghats, a local AC sightseeing cab for a full day, and a private Ganga Aarti boat ride — everything you need for a fulfilling Varanasi weekend getaway without the hassle of planning each piece separately.
Varanasi (Kashi / Banaras) is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities and the spiritual capital of India. Situated on the banks of the sacred Ganga River in Uttar Pradesh, Varanasi is famous for its 84 ghats, the Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga, the iconic Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, and the ancient city of Sarnath just 10 km away — where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon. Even a compact 1 Night / 2 Day visit delivers the soul of Kashi, especially with a well-planned itinerary.
Day 1 – Arrival & Ganga Aarti
Our driver will receive you at Varanasi Airport (VNS) or Varanasi Junction Railway Station and transfer you to your hotel. Check-in, freshen up, and rest. In the evening (6:00–7:30 PM), board a private boat at Dashashwamedh Ghat and witness the magnificent Ganga Aarti ceremony from the river — 11 priests, fire lamps, chants, and the divine energy of the sacred Ganga at dusk. Return to hotel for overnight stay.
Day 2 – Sunrise Boat Ride, Varanasi Temples & Departure
Start your day early (5:00–5:30 AM) with an optional sunrise boat ride on the Ganga — watching ancient Kashi wake up from the river is one of India's most iconic experiences, passing Assi, Manikarnika, Harishchandra, and Dashashwamedh ghats. After breakfast, board the AC cab for a full day of sightseeing: Kashi Vishwanath Temple (Jyotirlinga), Kaal Bhairav Temple, Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, Durga Temple (Durga Kund), Tulsi Manas Mandir, and Bharat Mata Mandir. Time permitting, visit Sarnath (Dhamek Stupa, Mulagandha Kuti Vihar, Sarnath Museum) — just 10 km from the city. Explore local Banaras street food — Kachori, Lassi, Tamatar Chaat. Transfer to Varanasi Airport / Railway Station for your onward journey.
