A safe, comfortable Dev Diwali boat ride for the whole family — kids, parents, and grandparents all enjoy the Ganga Aarti together.
Bringing the whole family to Dev Diwali in Varanasi is a beautiful way to share the festival of lights together — but the crowded ghats on 24 November 2026 can be overwhelming for children and elderly members. A boat ride is the easiest, safest way to keep your family comfortable while still enjoying a front-facing view of the Maha Ganga Aarti.
Unlike the packed ghat steps, a boat gives every family member — from toddlers to grandparents — a steady seat with a clear, unobstructed view. There's no pushing through crowds, no risk of getting separated, and everyone stays together as a group for the entire ride.
Every VisitKashi boat is equipped with life jackets for all passengers, operated by certified boatmen, and supervised by our on-ground team at boarding. For families with young children or elderly members, the Luxury AC Cruise adds a washroom and climate-controlled seating for extra comfort over the 3-hour ride.
All four boats follow the same 84-ghat route and Ganga Aarti viewing, so you can pick based on comfort level and budget for your family size.
Carry a light jacket for the kids as the river breeze cools down after sunset, keep snacks and water handy for a 2.5–3 hour ride, and arrive at the boarding point by 4:30 PM so your family can settle in calmly before the rush.
With over 10,000+ happy guests served since 2017, VisitKashi has hosted thousands of family trips for Dev Diwali. Starting from just ₹3,199/person, our team is on-ground at Ravidas Ghat to make sure every family boards smoothly and safely.
Get the safest, most comfortable boat for your family this Dev Diwali 2026.
