    Varanasi may be a little overwhelming for most Westerners, but Scindhia Guesthouse was a great retreat away from all the chaos. It's not a fancy hotel or anything remotely close, but the views of the Ganges are breathtaking and that makes it all worthwhile. From...More

    Scindhia on the Ghats

    About 1km walk through the historic narrow lanes ! If you inform hotel, they will send their person to pickup your luggage and guide you.

    Dear Pranab. There are no parkingfacilities. And you can not drive all the way because the roads are too narrow. My suggestion is not to take your vehicle, take the train! The rooms with balcony all faces the Ganges.
