BrijRama Palace

Varanasi, India

About BrijRama Palace

A heritage hotel in a palace built in 1812 on Darbhanga Ghat, right beside Dashashwamedh Ghat, restored over 18 years with its frescoes and stone detailing intact. Rooms look over the Ganges, and the evening Ganga Aarti takes place just along the ghats. Arriving by boat is part of the experience — a splurge at the very heart of the riverfront.

Zostel Varanasi

A branch of Zostel, India's biggest backpacker hostel chain, in Bangali Tola among the old-city lanes, a short walk from the ghats. Dorms, private rooms and social common spaces make it an easy place to meet other travellers — and to find company for a sunrise boat ride or the evening Ganga Aarti.

🏨

Ganpati Guesthouse

A long-running guesthouse on Meer Ghat, a few minutes' walk from Dashashwamedh Ghat and the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, with Ganges views from its terraces and many of its rooms. It's a comfortable, well-located mid-range base in the old city, where you can watch life on the river from above and walk to the evening aarti.
