Wheelchair Accessibility: ♿️

Dashashwamedh ghat is one  of the oldest and the most sacred ghats in the holy city of Varanasi. This place is most famous for its Ganga aarti which is an elaborate and lively ceremony that takes place at dusk everyday. Devotees float small diyas on leaf platters in the river as an obeisance to the holy Ganga. As the sunlight recedes, the lamps flowing in the water make for an unforgettable sight. This ritual can be watched from the ghat or boats. The narrow “Gally” reaching to the ghats are very uneven and not wheelchair accessible. All  hotels in the Riverbanks hotels are situated in narrow Gally where wheelchairs can hardly go. Hotels on the other side of Riverbanks have a better accessibility. The ghats have steps but no handrails.The passageways are always blocked with unwanted vehicles which makes the movement of wheelchair difficult.
