About Heritage & Ghat

This is the Banaras most visitors come for: the arc of ghats from Assi to Raj Ghat, the Kashi Vishwanath corridor, Dashashwamedh's evening Ganga aarti, and the dense old-city lanes of Chowk, Godowlia and Sonarpura. Stay here for riverfront mornings, temple darshan and walking distance to almost every classic sight — accept narrow lanes, crowds and rickshaw-only access in return.
