different zone from the center of Varanasi .... cleaner and quieter. The place where Lord Buddha gave his first sermon.

Excellent place just 35 km away from Varanasi. Great temple ,museum and historical sites. a perfect place to enjoy peace in life .

A little expensive to get there by car from Varanasi, but so quiet and profound. Take half a day to visit.

definitely worth the drive from varanasi-- only about 45 min. several nice temples, but the main site of the old stupa and remains is really beautiful, few people, green, and peaceful. and over 2,200 years old.

Very enjoyable trip to Sarnath, few monuments and very peaceful, well worth a half day trip to soak in the ambience.
