Spiritual Ganges Tour

Package Overview

Overview

The vivacious and ceremonial features of India are spread along the banks of the Ganges/Ganga River. It originates from the Himalayas and flows downwards towards the East to empty out into the Bay of Bengal. The river is considered as a sacred place, which brings a huge number of pilgrims to the spot for a simple dip or to release the ashes of their deceased family members. The banks of the river truly hold some great religious, cultural and traditional significance. The Ganges Tour is a package that lasts for 8 days- 7 nights and covers the major destinations along its banks or its Tributaries. It is more of a spiritual tour but it is equally alluring for just the tourists, you simply get engulfed in the air of Ganga.
