What people say about Assi Ghat

Manish Yadav 10 months ago

It's a nice place. Spiritually very aesthetic and has a relaxing vibe.

Good place to visit during daytime if you want to avoid crowd and want some sightseeing.

You can bring children. Lot of biodiversity on the banks. Some places has cleanliness issues but nothing not manageable.

Good prices if you want a boat ride. Shared rides can go anywhere from ₹50-80.

Lot of eating options available. Nice restaurant options overlooking the river. Few book shops too in the area.

Reaching here can be a bit tricky. Locals are very helpful though.
Hindus believe that it was at Assi Ghat that Tulsidas left for his heavenly abode. After the 2010 Varanasi bombing the city commissioned extra police to the Assi Ghat neighborhood in order to more quickly resolve problems which tourists might have.

Very nice and serene place. I actually liked sitting here for hours very much. The aarti is also very beautiful, and there is provision for boating as well! You can also take a boat to the opposite bank for camel rides and motor parachuting (don't know what exactly it's called and right now I'm too lazy to google, sorry). But all in all, a very good experience. Really liked the city, you can feel that the spiritual feeling is in the air.

If you are looking for peace, this place is for you. Sitting on the banks of the Ganges really gives you a bundle of positivity. You can get a lot of ideas if you are an artist.
The view, the tranquility, the vibes, at night is what you'll love for sure.

PS: The ganges and Varanasi is a part of our mother Earth. Keep the city and the Ganges neat and clean. Please be a responsible traveller :)
