Frequently Asked Questions

Where do morning walks start and what time?

Our flagship Subah-e-Banaras walk convenes under the historic Peepal Tree near the steps of Assi Ghat at 5:15 AM sharp to witness the dawn Vedic fire rituals and morning ragas before river traffic begins.

What is the cancellation and rescheduling policy?

Full 100% refund for cancellations made 7 or more days before the event. 50% refund between 48 hours and 7 days. If administrative or water safety restrictions prevent a boat departure, a 100% full refund or free reschedule is guaranteed.

What should I wear for temple and alley walks?

Modest, comfortable clothing that covers shoulders and knees. Easy slip-on shoes or sandals are recommended, as temple inner sanctorums require taking off footwear. Early mornings between November and February can be crisp, so carry a light shawl or jacket.
