Peaceful place though you need to find a nook to sit down among lots of visitors. Better to go in winter afternoons when it's not super crowded. You can also go for a boat ride visiting the ghats or can cross the river to go on the sand beach on opposite side. They have horse and camel riding options on sand beach too.

Awesome view of Ganga can be seen from this ghat best for hangout with friends in group. You can put your leg in the river sitting on the stairs and feel the inner happiness of yours. This is really a nice ghat but if you are non smoker or if you hate the smell of cigarettes and weeds you will find difficulty to spend much time.. It is next to the Tulsi ghat.

Quite nice ghaat but people visiting this place always leave their eating drinking leftover garbage at ghats or close to the bank stairs. Little remarkable information over this ghat is attached in pics.

Open area for hanging out by the river side. But its not recommend. In the month of august as the water level has risen way above. Even the boats are restricted from carrying out tourists. Only the cruise is allowed. You will find a number of people offering prayers to the Ganga and children playing around and swimming. It's advisable for the people visiting now in this month not to venture as there is a water current mid way. Better be near the shore with utmost alertness. Happy Banaras
