• Godowlia - Godowlia is the busiest and most crowded crossing, as it provides easy access to the riverbank of the Ganges. We pause here briefly to observe the arrival of pilgrims and their activities. Afterwards, we proceed to the River Ganga.
• Ganges River - The River Ganga is a significant river in the plains of the northern Indian subcontinent. While it is officially and popularly known as the Ganga in Hindi and other Indian languages, it is internationally recognized as the Ganges. It has been the sacred river of Hinduism since ancient times. For most of its journey, it is a wide and slow-moving stream, flowing through one of the world’s most fertile and densely populated areas. Despite its significance, its length of 1,560 miles (2,510 km) is relatively short compared to other major rivers in Asia or the world.
• Darbhanga Ghat - Passing by Shitala Ghat, which houses the temple of Goddess Shitala, the protector against smallpox and chickenpox, Ahilyabai Ghat, and Munshi Ghat, commemorating Sridhar Narayan Munshi, a financial minister of Nagpur State who resigned in 1812, settled in Varanasi, and passed away here in 1824. Enjoy some free time for personal exploration here.
• Banaras Ghats - At Munshi Ghat, we board a boat to travel upstream. A sunrise boat trip is essential and offers a beautiful life experience. The main attraction of Varanasi is the long line of bathing Ghats along the west bank of the River Ganges. Ghats are steps leading down to the river, where pilgrims cleanse their sins by dipping in the holy River Ganga.
• Harishchandra Ghat - Harish Chandra Ghat is another cremation ground in the southern part of Varanasi. It is named after the mythological King Harish Chandra, who worked at the cremation ground here to uphold truth and charity. It is believed that the Gods rewarded him for his resolve, charity, and truthfulness by restoring his lost throne and his deceased son. From here, our boat will return downstream towards the northern part of Varanasi.

• Meer Ghat - Meer Ghat, named in 1735 after the Muslim commander Mir Rustam Ali, provides access to the Vishalakshi temple and Dharma Kupa.
• Nepali Temple (Kathwala Temple) - Nepali Ghat, near the riverbank, is home to a charming shrine dedicated to the goddess Ganga River. A staircase from the bank leads to the Nepalese temple, a replica of the Pashupati Nath Temple.
• Manikarnika Ghat - After passing through Bauli, Jalashayi Ghat, and Khiraki Ghat, we arrive at Manikarnika Ghat, renowned for its cremation ground (photography of the cremation area is prohibited), where one can observe the cremation and related rituals.
