The north Indian city of Varanasi, or Benares, is regarded as sacred by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. Situated in the fertile Ganga valley and on the banks of the Ganges, Varanasi is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus, who come to bathe in the holy river. Known as the City of Temples and a beacon of culture, Varanasi has produced many renowned writers. It’s also a center of silk weaving, so practice haggling at the chaotic bazaar for some beautiful souvenirs. Rickshaws are the best way to get about.

Located in a peaceful part of the city near the Holy River Ganga, walking distance to many of Varanasi’s wonderful sights and holy places. Enjoy our Garden Courtyard, 24/hr Hot Water, Electricity, & Free Wi-Fi. Free shuttle service also available from Varanasi Cantt Train Station (BSB). The owner is a Master Ayurvedic Doctor and retired professor from Benares Hindu University (BHU).
Getting to the property is a Lil tricky but the place in itself is a small oasis for budget travelers right behind shivalay ghat, very neat rooms they have dorms too. Natwar lal is a very helpful manager and was sorting out my ride to the airport and stuff without any hassle. Gonna go back for sure

Our property is located in south part of Varanasi where its very close to Assighat, where most of the sacred temples are situated. We provide a very neat & clean, furnished atmosphere with free wifi as well as many other services like breakfast (on request), pick-up & dropping and guided tours too. You can easily walk to the famous ghats, and visit the aarti-ceremony in the morning & evening. So, just come and experience the serenity of this holy city.

Our family stayed in Goa when my eldest was a baby and we met so many amazing friends during our stay that we decided to come back for a visit. Many friends had dispersed and this time we found ourselves in Varanasi. Rahul was so kind to our girls and Amy was incredibly welcoming. We had a great time staying with them and the location couldn't have been better--it was so close to all the action! Shops and restaurants were plentiful and in close proximity with the Ganga only a 2 minute walk away. Our room was hippie chic with artistic appeal and was clean and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The WiFi was reliable, the water was hot and the AC was a blessing! Amy and Rahul were so incredibly informative and helpful- it was a pleasure to stay with them.

I am Wanderer Hostels offers a 24-hour front desk and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. It is located 5 km from Varanasi Bus Stand. Guests can avail of currency exchange facilities or take advantage of the car rental facility to explore the surrounding areas. Those who need help in planning the exploration can approach the tour desk.
The location is unbeatable, close to the ghats with a rooftop view and walking distance to sights you want to see. Staff is very nice and helped arrange boat trips. We were there for holi and they had a private party on the roof so we could celebrate even after it became too rowdy on the streets.
