Most travellers try to do Kashi in a single day and leave exhausted. Two well-planned days, on the other hand, give you every iconic moment without rushing. Here is the Kashi Bliss recommended itinerary.
Day 1 — Arrival, Temples & Ganga Aarti
Morning — Airport pickup in a chauffeur-driven sedan, breakfast at a heritage hotel near the Ganga Ghats. Check-in early.
Late morning — Queue less Kashi Vishwanath darshan with our guide. Allow 90 minutes door-to-door.
Lunch — Authentic Banarasi thali at a curated local restaurant.
Afternoon — Kalbhairav Temple darshan (the guardian of Kashi) and Sankat Mochan darshan founded by Tulsidas.
Evening — Walk through the lanes of Vishwanath Gali, then settle into your first row Ganga Aarti seats at Dashashwamedh Ghat.
Night — Dinner overlooking the Ganga.
Day 2 — Sunrise Boating, Sarnath, Shopping
Pre-dawn (5:30 AM) — Assi Ghat to Rajghat sunrise boating. Watch the river wake up, sadhus offering surya namaskar, and the 84 ghats glow gold.
Breakfast — Kachori-jalebi at a famous Banaras spot recommended by your guide.
Late morning — Sarnath Heritage Tour. Dhamek Stupa, Mulagandha Kuti Vihara and the Sarnath Museum (where the Lion Capital of Ashoka lives).
Afternoon — Guided shopping at authentic Banarasi silk outlets and brass-ware shops — fair prices, no commission games.
Evening — Optional Subah-e-Banaras experience at Assi Ghat or a relaxed spa session before departure.
