Sarnath travel guide

Sarnath is near Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and is associated with the Buddha's first sermon. Decide whether to stay locally or make the visit from another base.

Choosing your base in Sarnath

Compare the time you want in Sarnath with your other plans and onward journey. Staying closer can simplify one visit, while a different base may suit the rest of the itinerary.

Before choosing a room

Confirm the property's exact address and transport arrangements before relying on a broad Varanasi-area listing.

Compare the exact room category, including bed layout, cancellation terms and the full stay total. Hotel photographs may show several categories. If a detail matters to you, look for it in the room description or ask the property.

Where guest evidence is available, use it to investigate specific questions about the stay. Read the supporting comments and their dates. A neighbourhood description cannot establish how quiet an individual room will be.
