Traditional street food dominates the scene with mouthwatering kachori, chaat, and lassi available from dawn until midnight. Navigate the medieval maze by foot or hop on a cycle rickshaw to explore further, as the neighborhood's ancient lanes are too narrow for regular vehicles.

The golden spires of Kashi Vishwanath Temple pierce narrow lanes filled with saffron-robed sadhus and centuries-old havelis. Walking these labyrinthine streets, you'll hear temple bells and Sanskrit chants that have echoed here for thousands of years. Auto-rickshaws and cycle-rickshaws navigate the narrow lanes while boats offer scenic transport along the Ganges.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Varanasi

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable period to visit Varanasi is during May, June, and August, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those on a budget, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended to fully immerse oneself in the city's rich history and culture. Visitors can explore iconic landmarks such as ancient temples and monuments, experience the serene beauty of the Ganges River through rowing and boating, and engage in enriching activities like yoga at sunrise. This itinerary offers great value for money, allowing travellers to appreciate the archaeological wonders and vibrant culture of Varanasi without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Varanasi, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. The Smart Shopping feature in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so if rooms become available or prices drop, you could be among the first to know and secure a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you to save on your stay at a hotel in Varanasi. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we’ll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, increasing the likelihood of securing a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Varanasi's excellent public transport connections, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that is still conveniently linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there's often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
