Nearest airport
Varanasi, about 45 minutes from the ghats

Take the dawn boat, not the evening one, if you only do one. The aarti at night is a performance with a crowd; sunrise on the river is the city actually being itself.

What sets the cost from Delhi

Mainly how you travel (overnight train, or flight), how many nights you stay in Varanasi, the hotel category and how many people share vehicles and rooms. Long weekends and peak season fill hotels and transport first. Months to avoid: May and June, when the heat on the ghats is punishing. The written quote lists what is included and what is not.
