Most journeys begin here: Varanasi Junction (Cantt) and its hotel belt, Nadesar's institutional quarter, and the roads north to the airport. Sarnath — where the Buddha first taught — is the zone's world-class sight, with museums and monastery gardens. Stay here for early trains, late flights and Sarnath day-trips; expect traffic rather than lanes.
