Early starts for sunrise
Boat rides to see the ghats at first light depart before dawn—plan for a 4:30–6:30 AM wake-up and dress in layers for cooler river breezes.
Respect temple protocol
Carry a scarf and modest clothing for temple entries; remove shoes where required and keep offerings separate from personal items.
Watch your step on the ghats
Stone steps and wet surfaces are slippery—use closed shoes with grip and keep electronics secured near the water.
Support local weavers
If purchasing Banarasi silk, buy from verified workshops in Sarai Mohana and ask about weave, zari type, and return policies.

Grippy shoes protect on wet ghats and narrow lanes.
