If you want to avoid the intense crush of people at Dashashwamedh Ghat, you should definitely look into an Evening Ganga Aarti boat ride. I recently used Banaras Bhraman for this, and it changed the whole vibe of the trip. Instead of standing for an hour on the steps, you’re floating on the water with a clear view of the entire performance.

For a group or a couple, I’d suggest getting a Private boat for Ganga Aarti Varanasi. It’s much better than the shared boats where you might get stuck in the middle with a blocked view. With a private rental, you have the freedom to move around and get those perfect shots of the priests. Plus, the boat ride back under the stars is incredibly peaceful. Definitely worth the small extra cost for the comfort and the view!
