The best time to visit Varanasi from Delhi is between October and March. This period offers pleasant weather, comfortable Ghat walks, and the most beautiful Ganga Aarti experience with clear skies and cool evenings. If you are planning a group trip, booking a tempo traveller on rent in Delhi ensures a comfortable and hassle-free journey to this spiritual city.
November is particularly special. Dev Deepawali falls in November when the entire Varanasi Ghat stretch is illuminated with over a million lamps. It is one of the most breathtaking sights in all of India and completely transforms the Ganga Aarti experience.
Avoid May and June when temperatures regularly cross 44 degrees, making outdoor Ghat exploration genuinely exhausting.
For the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Monday is considered the most auspicious day for Shiva darshan but is also the most crowded. Visit on Wednesday or Thursday for a significantly more peaceful experience.
Reach the temple by 5 AM for the Mangala Aarti the earliest and most serene darshan of the entire day.
