    It would be a good time to visit this place in the winter mornings. Suitable place for nature photography, spiritual photography and sunrise photography. If you love to feel bird sounds then, this is the place for you but, don’t forget to visit in the morning specially in winters. •If you want those birds around you then you would have to buy food for them which is easily available at ghats.

    This place offers a serene escape along the river. The historical significance and religious ambiance make it a unique spot. I would suggest you to get there early in the morning to watch the sunrise. Seagulls are more in number during to winters. Take the boat and get to the other side of the shore to witness a breathtaking panorama. However, concerns about water pollution need attention for a more enjoyable experience.

    Nestled in Delhi-6 and situated not too far from the Kashmere Gate metro station is the famous and revered Yamuna Ghat. With multiple steps of stairs opening at the mouth of the holy Yamuna and around 10-15 boats waiting to ferry visitors and tourists; the place houses almost 200-300 people who live with their families. Visited by people for bathing, ritualistic, and recreational purposes, this Ghat shares its walls with the oldest cremation ground in Delhi—Nigambodh Ghat—which is visited by people to perform the last rites of their loved and known ones.THE OLDEST GHAT Ganesh Pandit, a 28-year-old boatman who was born and brought up on the Ghats, tells, “Nigam Bodh Ghat is famous for several decades. It is one of the oldest and significant Ghats and is symbolic of our age-old cultures, traditions, heritage, and history. People and visitors limit their gaze to this place being just a ‘cremation ground’ without even realizing that several families live in the same vicinity too.” Like many others, Ganesh’s family has been living on the Ghat for more than 60 years now and his father was the first one to come here. He shares, “My childhood was a fun-filled and a happy one, and I enjoyed a lot as a child. But as I grew up, tensions and worries of all sorts came along. Things like how to work and earn overpowered everything else, and after my father passed away, the responsibility to take care of my family and earn fell on my shoulders.”LIVELIHOOD The Ghat is surrounded by several mini temples, idols of deities, and small makeshift shops selling everything from tea and biscuits to flowers and sweets. A majority of those living on the Ghat earn their livelihood by rowing boats to-and-fro, helping tourists take a dip in the river, and facilitating the immersion of idols, flowers, and ashes. Ganesh, who has a massive fan following on Instagram and receives several calls a day for booking of shoots, adds, “My main source of employment here is through the boats I own. In addition to it, I also facilitate work related to worshipping and religious activities and help arrange priests whenever people want to offer prayers or conduct any rituals.” With the incoming of the migratory birds during every Autumn-Winter, more employment opportunities have been created for the tea sellers, bread makers, boat rowers, and even those who make and sell the special ‘namkeen’ to feed these birds.

    Yamuna Ghat in Delhi is a captivating riverside destination that blends spirituality, history, and serenity. Nestled along the banks of the Yamuna River, the ghat offers a mesmerizing view of historic monuments such as the Red Fort and Jama Masjid, creating a picturesque backdrop for visitors. The spiritual ambiance is palpable as pilgrims engage in various rituals and prayers by the flowing river, enhancing the overall cultural experience. The Ghat serves as a vital center for religious activities and festivals, drawing devotees from different walks of life. While the spiritual aura is compelling, the environmental concerns are hard to ignore. The Yamuna River faces pollution challenges, impacting the scenic beauty of the ghat. Efforts to address these issues are crucial for the long-term sustainability of this significant cultural and historical site. Despite environmental challenges, Yamuna Ghat remains an essential part of Delhi's heritage. It's a place where the past meets the present, offering visitors a unique blend of spirituality, history, and a chance to contemplate the cultural richness of the city. A visit to Yamuna Ghat is a journey through time, connecting with Delhi's diverse tapestry.

    Its is a wonderful place which i visit... I visited the place on month of December on that time very large folks of Siberian seagull are present. You just call them without food. Food is not mandatory to the arrival of seagull. But those who are willing to buy the food it is a good thing to feed the birds.

    The Yamuna is highly venerated in Hinduism and worshipped as the goddess of Yamuna. according to the popular legends, bathing in its sacred water frees one from the torments of death. There are boats which can take you around the place. The water is very dirty and one does not feel like touching the water.The aarti takes place at 5.30 AM and & PM. Being such a nice and historic place people dont seem to realise the value of this place. They litter all around and there is a foul smell all around. I hope the civic authorities do something to maintain the sanctity of the place.

    Is a serene spot Only problem is It's not clean It does not have an infrastructure And doesn't really feel safe to pass through the narrow lanes passing through closely spaced homes Although there's no reason to travel at night as the beauty starts fading at sunset.The birds fly back home the light goes out and water turns dark Suggestion - Visit the spot before 5 Advantages - Photography spot with birds in background, small boat rides to middle of water and feed birds while getting clicked Negative - The place holds great potential to be a tourist spot but no infrastructure and program developmenta have happened Plaza at edge with Aartis over it could really activate the space for tourist to come in Generate revenue for locals and let everyone enjoy the scene Although this might hinder the birds ecosystem So a very thoughtful steps for controlled development should be considered

    The Nigam bodh ghat is beautiful. The sunrise there at winter is a must watch because if one wants for a boat ride in winter there are a lots of seagulls making it a perfect view and awesome photography location. The bad part is that the ghats were extremely dirty. I went there for a clean up initiative by a content creator and with the help of an NGO. And we could clean some of the ghats. So it's a request to whoever visiting and living there to keep the ghats clean because this is one of the most beautiful location of Delhi

  • 5/5 piyush a. 2 months ago on Google • 33 reviews New
    You can park easily outside and get to the ghat which is only 50metres from there. Boat costs 100 per person and you can get food for birds @50 rupees for one packet. Experiencing birds early morning with sunrise is really beautiful and mesmerizing.

    For thousands of years, people have used them to enter various bodies of water in order to bathe or release the ashes of loved ones. Yamuna Ghat is one such place. Situated near a cremation ground in a historic part of Delhi along one of India's most sacred rivers, Yamuna Ghat continues to be in use today. Known for its religious significance, the ghat has several myths associated with it. Legends say that Lord Brahma had sacrificed ten horses, during Dasa-Ashwamedha yajna performed here. Unique place to click people , portraits and amazing landscapes with migrant birds. Big rivers have throughout history been important to the development of capitals. This Photowalk is dedicated to the Yamuna river that has been an important yet silent witness to Delhi’s history. The tour starts from the Yamuna at Nigambodh Ghat which unfolds the ritualistic devotion of how the Hindus treat the historic river. I am attaching some brilliant photos taken by others (sry I don't know their name , got these from a social media site)

  • 1/5 012Garvit R. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly speaking at first you won't feel safe at all while going down that slum area to this place as there are some people who start following you right when you go there near the river. And the second thing is that the river is not clean at all all you'll find is some water bottles or logs of wood flowing in the river, alongwith some food packets... So, I won't recommend anyone to visit this place alone, and you may not visit this place even with a girl.. Although if you are a vagrant and love to explore new and typical places then you may surely head out to this place.. I'll share some of the photographs which I took on my visit to this place...

  • 4/5 Maheshwar G. 2 years ago on Google
    Every year between November and February, Yamuna Ghat in Delhi hosts migratory birds, mainly seagulls, from the Siberia region, Russia. It is intriguing to watch 1000s of them flying around the ghat area in the middle of the crowded city. Early morning is the best time for bird watching and photography. The ghat area is filthy, and the stench of sewage and untreated river water is just a word of caution.

    Situated near a cremation ground in a historic part of Delhi along one of India’s most sacred rivers, Yamuna Ghat continues to be in use today. At dawn, the ghat is the site of a majestic gathering of hundreds of seagulls flocking to feed. After dawn there is nothing to see , the water is polluted and place is not a clean one. The boat service is there if you want to go to the other side of Ghat. If you are visiting this place watching someone's Instagram videos or other videos in the social media , that's all edited so don't expect that beauti here . Just check my photos and videos and then decide. But if you are visiting on early morning then it's worth .

    Its very near to nigam bodh take service lane and go to ghat no24. If you are a bird lover and want to have some peaceful moments go there and watch them fly all around you. Those who want to record these memories can click some amazing pictures. Best time is sunrise and sunset...because the golden glow of the sun makes it more amazing. However even if you don't get the clear Sky your experience will be worth it.

    Yamuna ghat if you are planning to here go in winters in Morning before sunrise. You can see a very pleasant sunrise for here. And you can also see the migratory birds here only I winter's

  • 5/5 Bobby R. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a paradise for photographers and a few of us who are morning birds, especially if you enjoy a gorgeous winter sunrise. Yes, being THE Yamuna, there is filth strewn all across the banks, but there are spaces that you can sit at (on the stairs, by the bank) and enjoy a wonderful winter morning looking at the gulls flying around in hordes and enjoy their voices (which, frankly, can get pretty loud). I keep visiting this place every winter multiple times and it never gets old. Yes, reaching here isn't too easy, but once there, you are going to have a wonderfully peaceful time. 🤗

    There is no doubt this is a really cool spot to photograph or be photographed. But what makes the experience a bit "meh" is just the over commercialization (which plagues most of India). The tranquility is ruined by boatmen competing for your business. There will be another group of locals looking to bathe or perform rites who won't be very pleased with your visitation. Otherwise, if you can tolerate the polluted smell of the Yamuna, you will surely experience what you had in mind from social media. Just fix (and do bargain) the boat + feed rates (for attracting the birdies) before you board. Else, you will end up overpaying. Don't let the boatmen rush you or dictate your experience - take your time and direct them as you need. I just wish one day the ghat (and the river itself) can be restored to a cleaner, just state. PS: wear a mask. Parking is available in the area with the steps to the ghat.

    The place is good, but people have destroyed the river bank and it looks dirty, I hope Delhi Govt. Will do something for it, Best visiting hours are golden hours that is at the time of sunset or at the time of sunrise, Also don't buy food for birds from here , they sell it so expensive, come with your own nankeen or something for feeding birds here :)

    GHATS—A SERIES OF STEPS LEADING down to water—are a common sight across India. For thousands of years, people have used them to enter various bodies of water in order to bathe or release the ashes of loved ones. Yamuna Ghat is one such place. Situated near a cremation ground in a historic part of Delhi along one of India’s most sacred rivers, Yamuna Ghat continues to be in use today. At dawn, the ghat is the site of a majestic gathering of hundreds of seagulls flocking to feed. The reflection of the birds on the still water blended with the colors of the sunrise combine to create a breathtaking scene. Just across from the ghat is an island of untouched marshland that renders Delhi as it was hundreds of years ago, lush and misty. Though it is a sacred body of water on the Indian subcontinent, the Yamuna River is also among the dirtiest rivers in the world. Fortunately, the outer beauty of this refuge masks the unfathomable amount of sewage that lurks just beneath the water’s surface. Know Before You Go The ghat can be accessed by its Google Maps location. It's located in a residential neighborhood, so if you get lost any local will be able to point you in the right direction. It is best to visit at dawn when the seagulls come to feed. There will normally be a few boat drivers waiting there that will charge a small amount (around 50 rupees) to ferry you across the water and back. I like clicking photos and my experience was great for that.

    As this is not an appealing time to visit this ghat.. as I have read and Heard best time to visit here is November December when this place is full of birds... so if you are visiting this place out side this month then don't go there with lot of expectations.. just a Normal ghat with calming effect.. can sit here for a chit chat or go for boating.

    Extremely dirty and polluted. Plastics floating on the river for as far as you can. I was very disturbed by the image of the place. It's also highly commercialized now, with touts who will keep pestering you for boat rides. Be careful of your belongings here. The best time to go would be in the winter mornings of November to March.

    Yanuma ghat is a picture square place to visit in winter from dec to Feb. You can see birds flying all over and if you go there in the morning there will be mist... They charge around rs 50 per person for the boat and if you want to feed the bird it's rs 50 for a packet ( so that the bird will come near the boat). The metro station is quite far from Kashmir they will charge around rs 70 to go to yanuma ghatt. The place is a bit polluted so take your precautions well.

    The best time to reach the ghats is just before sunrise. Photographers ranging from novices to professionals head on out at this idyllic spot behind Raj Ghat in New Delhi to witness the birds fly about with the rising sun forming the perfect backdrop. A chance to capture some stunning silhouettes as well as the orange coloured skies clicks from camera shutters cut through the tranquillity of the morning.

    Yamuna ghat is on of the hidden or unknown location near Kashmiri gate ISBT which becomes more beautiful at the time of winter as migratory bird comes from all the way from syberia to reside here for the of November to February end . At this the boating facilities is also there and the boat man called Ganesh is handling the ghat . He also help the photographer to shoot the beautiful views of nature and also for pre - wedding shoots.

If anyone wishing to go there go in seasons,becouse the birds are migratory... So it is better to go between January to May.😊

    The only proper place by Yamuna where to do pujas in Delhi, but extremely dirty water is not helping the overall feel of the place. If Delhi govt helped to reconstruct it, it would once again become living and breathing spiritual centre of Delhi. Place with a potential, wasted by sewage.

    The Yamuna (Hindustani: pronounced [jəmunaː]) is the second-largest tributary river of the Ganga by discharge and the longest tributary in India. Originating from the Yamunotri Glacier at a height of 6,387 metres (20,955 ft) on the southwestern slopes of Banderpooch peaks of the Lower Himalaya in Uttarakhand, it travels a total length of 1,376 kilometres (855 mi) and has a drainage system of 366,223 square kilometres (141,399 sq mi), 40.2% of the entire Ganga Basin. It merges with the Ganga at Triveni Sangam, Prayagraj, which is a site of the Kumbh Mela, a Hindu festival held every 12 years.

    Very refreshing good place for photography Yamuna Ghat near Nigambodh Ghat is a photographer's and bird watcher's delight, especially during the months of November-February where the area is full of migratory seagulls. Having its historical mention in Padma Puran and Mahabharata, Yamuna Ghat has many interesting stories to offer. Although developed by the British, this place now is a centre for art exploration for photographers and other art lovers. Starting from 6:30 am, it's delightful to watch the birds in action and locals engaged in rituals. One can also opt for boating in the river and feed the birds. It's an out of the world experience to be in the centre of the river and watch the flock of birds flying above your boat. Also, the place has some remnants of medieval and British architecture which is quite appealing.

    The place was kinda deserted and I felt insecure. I reached the place at sunset. Watching the seagulls was a beautiful experience. However the river is polluted and the water stinks. I think the visit was not worth the travel. Also there was only few seagulls there. I think you'll have a better experience if you go there at dawn.

    People keep saying that visiting Yamuna Ghat is a waste of time, but I want to say the opposite. Yes of course, there is a very foul smell in water at some points when you are in a boat 🤢, but the place looks Beautiful in winters, when the Siberian birds can be seen on the Yamuna Ghat.🕊️🦢 The best time to visit is November - February in the early morning because the birds are gone till 7:30-8:00 am. A ride in a boat costs around 50-100 per person and you should definitely give it a try. Take lots of pictures, meet the uncle with whom me and my friends went boating and have a great time. 🎉 Nearest metro station - Lal Qila, walk 5-10 min from there. Enter from Yamuna Ghat No. -15.

    For photography, it's good. You can get a good picture if you visit in the morning. The chaos of Siberian bird is melodic and very energetic. If you want to pursue photography or not. But you must visit once. As far as cleanliness is concerned it's not good but you can manage.

    Situated near Kashmere Gate of Delhi along one of India’s most sacred rivers, Yamuna Ghat continues to be in use today. At dawn, the ghat is the site of a majestic gathering of hundreds of seagulls flocking to feed. The reflection of the birds on the still water blended with the colors of the sunrise combine to create a breathtaking scene. Just across from the ghat is an island of untouched marshland that renders Delhi as it was hundreds of years ago, lush and misty. Though it is a sacred body of water on the Indian subcontinent, the Yamuna River is also among the dirtiest rivers in the world. Fortunately, the outer beauty of this refuge masks the unfathomable amount of sewage that lurks just beneath the water’s surface. The ghat can be accessed by its Google Maps location. It's located in a residential neighborhood, so if you get lost, any local will be able to point you in the right direction. It is best to visit at dawn when the seagulls come to feed. There will normally be a few boat drivers waiting there that will charge a small amount (around 50 rupees) to ferry you across the water and back.

    Its a hidden place near isbt delhi. During December and January migratory birds mainly seagulls from siberia visit here which is worth seeing. There are local people on the ghat who row the boat for nominal price and give you a breathtaking experience.

    Nice place for photography but ghats are getting dirty. Best time to visit is early morning and evening. And winter is the best season for photography.

  • 5/5 Rajiv R. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful while sunrise and sunset mostly sunrise is preferred. Visit during winter till March for birds. Keep cold wind in mind with your hairstyle and outfit. Don't go for boating suddenly wait analyse,talk, bargain then do the booking. Otherwise they will charge you more for less time. Take food for birds also otherwise they will loot you for that also.

    GHATS—A SERIES OF STEPS LEADING down to water—are a common sight across India. For thousands of years, people have used them to enter various bodies of water in order to bathe or release the ashes of loved ones. Yamuna Ghat is one such place. Situated near a cremation ground in a historic part of Delhi along one of India’s most sacred rivers, Yamuna Ghat continues to be in use today. At dawn, the ghat is the site of a majestic gathering of hundreds of seagulls flocking to feed. The reflection of the birds on the still water blended with the colors of the sunrise combine to create a breathtaking scene. Just across from the ghat is an island of untouched marshland that renders Delhi as it was hundreds of years ago, lush and misty. Though it is a sacred body of water on the Indian subcontinent, the Yamuna River is also among the dirtiest rivers in the world. Fortunately, the outer beauty of this refuge masks the unfathomable amount of sewage that lurks just beneath the water’s surface.

    A good place to visit. One should not crib about water being polluted if a person visits there. What does place offer? A decent photography spot for street as well as photoshoots. A boat ride. It costed me ₹50. Presence of Migratory birds during winters. It's a Secluded place with old houses at its bank.

    Amazing place for boating. You may visit on weekend for natural adventure trip. Ghats and Yamuna are not too clean but it the boating and migrated birds may purify your soul and filled with happyness. The main time for going here is after 3:00 pm. If you are bird lover and in Delhi, must visit here. Yamuna, baot and sunset give a mesmerizing view for lifelong memory.

  • 5/5 Arun K P. 3 years ago on Google
    The scenery at morning 7 am and evening 4 pm is awesome that you can feed the birds and have nice photographs. The water is tooo bad but ther services of boat is good and you can bargain to get to a normal rating

    Actually this place made as a Cultural heritage of Hindus Funeral service, and addition with its vibe places with lot of doves that they expecting their food from the humans 🥺.

    Best to visit during sunrise and sunset. There will be lot of seagulls during that time. We have visited around 9am.

  • 4/5 Deblina R. 1 year ago on Google
    Plan your visit before sunrise or for the sunset. Being from Kolkata, finding a ghat in Delhi made me nostalgic! Best time to visit would be from during the winters as you would find the migratory flocking. The boats charge 100rs per head for 30-40 minutes ride. I would say it is worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Ayush 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to visit early morning. Best place to see sunrise in Delhi with birds chirping around, surrounded by water,peace . The ambiance is awesome and ferry ride also cost minimal 100 per person(both to and fro). Good for clicking pictures with the rising sun

  • 4/5 Mehak 1 year ago on Google
    It was a great experience. I specially visited for watching sunrise but i was not aware that i will get to know about various type of migratory birds. I clicked lot of good pictures there and it was worth it to sacrifice my sleep.

  • 3/5 Pradhumn P. 10 months ago on Google
    The place is only give you vibes if you visit from winter months ( November to Feb) rather than it's the worst place to go there coz you can not see any seagulls and also the place smells bad and also no vibes for sun rise. Boat charges 100 per person.

  • 5/5 Hari 1 year ago on Google
    One thing for sure, if you're trying to reach this place, the best time is either sunrise or sunset. The boat ride is fun, experiencing all those birds fly over you prying on the eatables spread across the water by the boatmen.

    Beautiful place in Delhi to witness beautiful sunrise and different acrobatics of birds. Beautiful place to visit with friends and family. Reach the place just before sunrise and enjoy the boat ride for 30 mins. You can buy bird foods their. if you don't want to buy don't worry the boat owners have food. Just back and enjoy nature.

  • 5/5 NIKHIL S. 4 months ago on Google
    Water at ghat is a bit bad, but if you go to other bank by boat it's soothing, positive vibes. Migrant bird's visit in winter season, take bread, biscuits, Namkeen and serve them, you will feel blessed.

  • 5/5 arshi S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Early morning visit at Yamuna Ghat is really a blessing for the eyes at the time of winter, when the Siberian birds are all around. Must visit once in winter.

  • 5/5 Rahul Kumar S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Very exciting place to feel a new experience in new delhi in winter season.For visiting here you the nearest metro station is Kashmere.You have to exit from Gate No.-7 and take a auto for yamuna ghat boating services.Good place for couples,friends and families.If you have camera then you can bring it for nice shots.

    You'll love to visit this place during a winter morning. And, feeding the migratory birds while roaming around on a boat is an unforgettable experience that you'll cherish for a long time.
