💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget guesthouses near Assi Ghat or Maidagin area instead of upscale hotels near Dashashwamedh—you'll save 40-50% on accommodation while remaining close to major attractions and experiencing authentic local life.
📅 October to March is ideal for visiting Banaras, with pleasant weather, clear skies, and perfect conditions for exploring the ghats and attending evening Aarti ceremonies. Avoid May to September due to extreme heat and monsoon flooding that can disrupt ghat activities.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Banaras as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid Indian passport or government-issued ID for domestic travel.
