Raj Ghat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raj Ghat is on the northern part of Varanasi and is one of the ancient ghats. It is said that the very ancient city of Varanasi began around here. The ghat is historic and has ancient temples nearby. Although fewer in tourists&#8217; visits, it has a different old Banaras charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location:<\/strong> Northern part of Varanasi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Famous For:<\/strong> Ancient history of Varanasi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Best Time to Visit:<\/strong> Early morning for peaceful environs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Do_at_the_Ghats\"><\/span>Things to Do at the Ghats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Morning boat ride on Ganga \u2013<\/strong> Observing the sunrise and activity on the ghats from a boat is one of the finest experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Evening Ganga Aarti \u2013<\/strong> The spiritual ambiance of Dashashwamedh or Assi Ghat during aarti is irretrievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Walking tour of ghats \u2013<\/strong> A walk through the long series of ghats provides a close-up view of rituals, temples, and local culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yoga and meditation \u2013<\/strong> Several ghats, particularly Assi, provide serene spots to conduct yoga sessions during the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ideal time to visit is October to March when the climate is pleasant.
