India Tara tours’ Soft adventure & wild life tour package features a breathtaking boat cruise in the holy river, Ganges from Allahabad to Varanasi, covering a distance of 125 kms. There will be several stops in between at many historically and religiously important places and also on beautiful deserted islands situated amidst the river waters. You can choose from our various tour packages of 2 nights 3 days to 5 nights 6 days considering the fact that most of the journey will be through the boat.
The boats used on the Soft adventure & wild life tour of India are wooden boats with mattress and pillows where the you can just sit and relax comfortably while two boat men drive the boat through the drifting water of the holy river and provide a scenic panoramic view of the Ghats, ancient temples, glimpses of the country life, smaller virgin islands and a beautiful landscape. We provide breakfast and dinner breaks at the hotels on the land, while lunch and beverage are served on the boat itself. For small group of people, we also arrange camping at one of the beautiful deserted beaches or islands for night stay, keeping the season in mind.
The main locations visited on the land on this tour are Allahabad, Sitamarhi or Sita Samahit Sthal, Mirzapur, Chunar, and Varanasi. All the above mentioned places hold a significant place in the history of India and are the top places of tourist attraction. Though the various stops are mainly meant for food, hotel overnight stays and rest, you can still get to see the life, culture and important sites of the various places enroute. Visit few of the wild life sanctuaries on the way such as Chandra Prabha and Kaimoor wild life sanctuaries, located within 100 kms from Varanasi and take a safari through the jungle to see various wild animals and birds in their natural habitat. You will also have plenty of time to savor the local special delicacies of each place which will sure titillate the taste buds of your mouth.
India Tara Tours’ cruise journey ends at Varanasi in the lamp lit Ghats of Ganges in the evening, where Sandhya Aarthi prayer is conducted every day. Stay there for some time breathing the intoxicating air mixed with fragrance of flowers and incense and lose yourself in the spiritual world. Rest at the hotel overnight after dinner and take an elaborate sight-seeing tour of Varanasi, “The city of temples” the next day.
