Best Time to Visit Varanasi from Ahmedabad

The best time to visit Varanasi is in the winter (October-March) when the weather is cool and pleasant. This gives you ample opportunity to explore the city in peace. The temperature ranges from 7°C to 28°C. You can easily go for the Ganga Aarti, boat rides, temple tours, and even enjoy a full-fledged city tour.

Also, we advise against booking your Varanasi holiday packages in the summer and monsoon season, as they make your sightseeing difficult because of the hot and humid weather. However, a plus point for these seasons is that it's relatively less crowded and you also get to avail hotel discounts.
