2 Days Dev Deepawali Varanasi Tour Package 2026

Arrival in Varanasi – Arrive at Varanasi Airport or Varanasi Railway Station in the morning and meet our representative. Transfer to your hotel, complete check-in formalities and freshen up before beginning your Dev Deepawali pilgrimage.

• Shri Kashi Vishwanath Temple – Begin your spiritual journey with darshan at one of the most revered Shiva temples in India. Devotees can plan Sugam Darshan or other available temple services according to the official temple schedule and festival-day arrangements. 
• Kaal Bhairav Temple – Visit the sacred temple dedicated to Kaal Bhairav, traditionally regarded as the guardian deity of Kashi. Seek blessings before continuing your Varanasi sightseeing.
• Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple – Pay a visit to the famous Hanuman temple and experience its peaceful spiritual atmosphere.
• Lunch & Afternoon Rest at Hotel – Return to the hotel for lunch and take some time to rest. This break is particularly useful because the Dev Deepawali evening involves heavy crowds and considerable walking.
• Proceed Towards the Ganga Ghats – Leave the hotel well before the evening crowd restrictions become intense. Depending on the traffic plan and designated access point on the day, continue on foot towards the Ganga boat boarding point.
• Dev Deepawali Ganga Boat Ride – Board your reserved boat and cruise along the sacred Ganga as the ghats begin to illuminate with countless diyas. A boat provides a panoramic river-level view of the illuminated riverfront and is one of the most memorable ways to experience Dev Deepawali. 
• Illuminated Ghats of Varanasi – Witness the spectacular sight of the riverfront glowing with rows of earthen lamps. The reflection of the diyas on the Ganga creates a particularly beautiful evening view.
• Dev Deepawali Ganga Aarti – Experience the grand evening Ganga Aarti from the river, with the illuminated ghats forming the backdrop. Festival-day ceremony timings and access arrangements may vary according to the administration's final programme.
• Laser Show & Fireworks – Depending on the official 2026 festival programme and river restrictions, enjoy the cultural/light presentations and fireworks that are commonly associated with the Dev Deepawali celebrations. Current 2026 event information lists laser/projection shows and fireworks as part of the festival experience. 

Overnight Stay in Varanasi – After the Dev Deepawali celebration, return to the hotel, have dinner and enjoy a comfortable overnight stay

Morning Ganga Experience – Start the day with an optional peaceful morning visit to the Ganga Ghats. After the previous night's celebrations, the riverfront offers a completely different and quieter atmosphere.
