Sunrise boat on the Ganges does not publish a fixed price, so this site will not invent one. Check the official page below.
The single best hour in Varanasi. A rowing boat at first light past the bathing ghats as the city washes, prays and does laundry. PRICED PER BOAT AND NEGOTIATED - agree it before stepping in. Rowed boats are quieter and better than motorised.

The planner warns of extreme heat in May; and hot in April, June, July; and wet in August. Outside those months it says nothing, which is the point — a warning that fires every day is one nobody reads.
