Around the hotel
Plan a river morning, a temple visit and the evening aarti, with time back at Augusto in between.
At first light
Meet Varanasi from the riverfront. The early light brings the ghats, boats and steps into view as the city begins its day.
Boat rides are available around Dashashwamedh Ghat. Agree the route and fare locally before setting out.

The river and the old city
On the water
Start at the ghats and decide how you want to explore: a walk along the steps or a boat outing from around Dashashwamedh. Give the river its own morning, with time to pause before the next part of your day.
Before boarding a boat, agree the route, duration, total fare and return point with the operator. Keep the hotel’s map pin handy for the walk back to Godowlia.
