💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget guesthouses near Assi Ghat or Godowlia area where rooms cost ₹300-800 per night, and eat at local dhabas serving authentic Banarasi cuisine for ₹50-150 per meal to maximize your savings.
📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Banaras when temperatures range from 15-25°C, making exploration comfortable and the Ganga water level perfect for boat rides. Avoid May-September as the intense heat and monsoon rains can make navigating the crowded ghats and narrow lanes challenging.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Banaras as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid Indian ID like Aadhaar, PAN card, or passport for domestic travel.
