Varanasi, known for its spiritual heritage and vibrant culture, offers experiences that extend beyond the banks of the Ganges. Here are four stay hacks to make the most of your visit.
Fast Fact: Did you know? Approximately 75% of Varanasi hotels feature traditional architecture that reflects the city's historical charm, like the Brijrama Palace, which boasts stunning views of the river.
Local Hack: Request a 'puja' experience at your hotel; many places will arrange this for guests, allowing you to partake in a traditional ritual on the ghats.
Hidden Gem: The Banaras Hindu University campus (12 mins from the main hotel district) offers a serene atmosphere and impressive temples, providing a peaceful retreat from the busy city.
Smart Tip: Booking a hotel near the ghats can save you approximately 20% on transportation costs, as you'll be within walking distance of major attractions.
