Panchkoshi Yatra begins at Manikarnika Kund. This is a small water tank situated close to the famous Manikarnika Ghat. The devotees take a dip in the Manikarnika Kund. They then take some water in their hands and do a Sankalp for the yatra. After the Sankalp, devotees take a boat and head to Assi Ghat, the southernmost Ghaton Ganga at Varanasi. This is the beginning point of the yatra. After this, there are 5 Padavs or stops on the 50 miles or roughly 80 km path. The Panch koshi road is an ancient pilgrim route. There are boards guiding you on the path and inform you about the Padavs or stops as well.
