A Comfortable Two-Day Plan
Keep Day 1 flat and short: a boat ride at sunrise, breakfast at the hotel, then the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor in the late morning when queues are shorter. Rest through the afternoon heat and watch the evening aarti from a seated ghat café instead of standing on the steps.
Day 2 can add Sarnath by car, about an hour each way with the museum as the main stop. Choose hotels with lifts, carry water and your regular medicines, and avoid the ghats during the heaviest festival crowds.
