Triveni Ghat

Like the soul cleansing dip in the River Ganga, the relaxing by the river to soak in its beauty, and attending the famous Maha Aarti wouldn't be enough, Triveni Ghat surprisingly has more to offer.

1. You should make it a point to enjoy a boat ride on this magnificent river. During the trip, you will encounter views of gushing waters and lush greenery in the backdrop of fog tinted sky touching mountains- not a picture one would want to pass out on.

2. White river rafting is on the river Ganga! With over 21 rapids to add to the adventure, sitting on the edge of a raft as it pushes through the gushing water is a thrill truly unimaginable. You can jump into the river between rapids and amidst a 60 feet deep river. To add to the excitement, there is a rock at an elevation of 19 feet, where one jumps off of into the river. It is best if you take the opportunity of rafting in the summers when the water is comparatively warmer.

3. Devotees also come to the Triveni Ghat to perform a ceremony called 'Pindha Shraddha'. This ceremony is performed to honour the ancestors and pray for their soul to find peace, and what better place to do this than the lap of our holy mother Ganga?

4. The mesmerizing view of the sunrise at the Triveni Ghat is the perfect spiritual and relaxing start to the day. Many devotees come to the ghat to offer their offerings to the lord and the holy Ganga, and pray for a fruitful day. They offer milk to the river and also feed the many thousand fish that call the river Ganga their home. This ghat is the location where many people like to start their day, because it gives them the strength and will to make their day better not only for themselves but also for others.
