Capacity up to 20 guests. Fixed prices, routes from Namo Ghat and Dashashwamedh Ghat, and a free storyteller on board.
The open boat is our classic way to see the river. There is no roof, so the view of the ghats, the sunrise and the Ganga Aarti is open on every side, and it is the best value of our four boats.
It suits friends, couples and small families. It is also the boat we use most for morning sunrise rides. On a hot afternoon a covered boat is more comfortable, so for elders and young children see our canopy boat.
Every ride comes with a free storyteller. Sharing seats need a minimum of 8 people. Choose a morning ride in the 5:00 to 7:00 AM window or an evening ride in the 5:30 to 7:30 PM window, and confirm the exact time with us when you book.
Private means the full boat for your group. Per-person seats are for sharing.
