💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget guesthouses near the ghats (₹500-1000/night) instead of Varanasi hotels, and eat at local dhabas where meals cost ₹80-150 per person - you'll save 40% compared to tourist restaurants in nearby Varanasi.
📅 October to March is the ideal time to visit Chandauli, when temperatures range from 10-25°C and the weather is pleasant for exploring ghats and temples. Avoid May to September due to intense heat and monsoon rains that can disrupt travel and make riverside activities uncomfortable.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Chandauli as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid government-issued ID like Aadhar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
