Pick-up from the hotel in the afternoon (around 1500 hrs) and drive to Sarnath which located just 10 km from the Hindu holy city of Varanasi. Sarnath is the site where Gautam Buddha first taught the Dharma after his enlightenment. Sarnath is one of four holy Buddhist sites sanctioned by the Buddha himself for pilgrimage. During your Sarnath Tour see Dharmekh Stupa which is 128 feet high, and 93 in diameter, Deer Park, Ashoka Pillar. While you are in Sarnath do no forget to see Sarnath Archaeological Museum, which also houses some of the greatest treasures of Indian Buddhist art.

Later drive to the Dasmeshwar Ghat to witness the most spiritual aarti ceremony. You will be provided a private boat to reach to the place to observe most of it and with this private boat you can roam onto many other Ghats to explore things e.g cremation ritual, bathing etc. An aarti is a devotional ritual that uses fire as an offering. The offering is made to the Goddess Ganga, also affectionately referred to as Maa (Mother) Ganga, goddess of the most holy river in India.
