Exploring Varanasi offers a blend of spirituality and culture, and knowing a few tricks can enhance your visit.
Fast Fact: Did you know? About 75% of Varanasi's mid-range hotels are located near the Ganges River, like the Tree Of Life Resort & Varanasi, which provides stunning views.
Local Hack: Request 'chai' from the hotel's kitchen. Many establishments will happily provide you with authentic local tea, often brewed with spices.
Hidden Gem: The Kashi Vishwanath Temple (12 mins from many hotels) is special not just for its architecture but for its deep spiritual significance and vibrant atmosphere.
Smart Tip: Booking online? Look for the term 'last-minute deals' - hotels in Varanasi often drop prices by 20-30% within a week of your stay.
