Starr to finish it was great. Got picked up from the airport and the driver was waiting immediately. We needed to walk the final 5-10 mins as no car can drive down. 2 people came to meet us and carry our bags. We immediately received water on arrival and checked in smoothly. We wanted to do sunrise walking tour and night ceremony and all this was organised instantly eventhough it was now 9.30pm. We were to meet at 6am next morning. Following day, our only one in Varanasi we started with a row boat down the ganges at sunrise. It was amazing and serene. Krishna was our guide for the day and he told us so much about the daily life of people in the city. We had a 2 hour break for breakfast before meeting up again for walking tour. Lalait joined us and led us for that. We had a great day the 4 of us. We covered all the ghats and so many interesting points throughout the alleyways. We had chai at Assi chatting on steps. We had the most amazing apple pie.. ever... it was delicious. We stopped for tea and coffee at mendeys.. we saw the weavers in their workplace with their looms. We did a street food tour as part of it and it was so so good. We spent some time at cremation ghat which was an incredible experience. Finally for the evening we went to ganga aarti which was a fabulous experience. Tried at 7pm We trudged off to our room and bed. However, the staff wanted to meet us on the rooftop. At check in they saw my dob and realised it was birthday so they had a happy birthday banner cake candles and a popper. It was so touching and a wonderful experience. So so thoughtful and i will always remember the kindness and feeling so special.. thank you all, we had a wonderful wonderful stay
