Good to know
- In the monsoon (roughly Aug–Sep) the Ganga floods the lower ghats and the aarti moves to rooftops; boats may be stopped.
- Photography at Manikarnika cremation ghat is considered disrespectful; ask before photographing people.
- Prices are typical rates for one person; for a boat, a jeep or a car the group shares the cost.
