Morning aarti happens at Assi Ghat (called Subah e Banaras). Can also do boating after aarti at Rs 50 per person. They bargain a lot for boating. I saw they also charged 200 bucks with someone. So b… Full review by Ankosh L

One of the 84 Ghats of Banaras but a very Famous one. Famous for Subah-e-Banaras, Morning Aarti and Boat Rides. One should not miss this ghat. This can be easily covered with Birth place of Rani La… Full review by AmulAwasthy
Sir, while watching morning arati in Assi Ghat can one see sunrise too or for that one has to go to the opposite bank of the river? Thank you in anticipation
A:
Hi Arunabha. Yes, you can see the sunrise from the same side. It's convenient and pretty.
Is Assi ghat easily accessible by Car? Can I get car parking space near to the Ghat? Can I take a boat ride upto Manikarnika ghat from Assi Ghat and comeback? How long it will take (minimum time please) and how much it could cost ? Your early response would help me plan my visit tomorrow morning.

Yes, Not only cars, but our own tempo traveller (on hire) was parked right beside ASSI ghat near the Alakananda cruise jetty. Boats are available from Assi ghat for various ride options - they charge around 300 bucks per head or 3K for whole boat - these are country boats with gensets and loud noise...so be prepared for smoke and noise too...although once sailing - these hardly matter cos the view mesmerizes all.
If u need to be close to temple and ghats and feel proper Varanasi, I would suggest hotel Ganges grand.. it's right at the junction and few metres distance from temples and ghats.. …
If u need to be close to temple and ghats and feel proper Varanasi, I would suggest hotel Ganges grand.. it's right at the junction and few metres distance from temples and ghats.. and is well maintained hotel too... cleanliness, good food and comfortable facilities. If you are looking for more elite stay, then Taj is preferred. However, it's far from main places and u need to struggle with traffic of Varanasi for each and every visit to ghats/temples.
The aarti is performed here early morning 5 -530 a.m. under the Subah e Banars cultural and spiritual event. In winter timing may have changed. Please ask your Hotel or Guest House …
