I was born and brought up in Banaras. I have seen this city in its quiet morning light and in its overwhelming evening rush. I know its magic, and I know its chaos.
Many visitors arrive with beautiful expectations but leave feeling tired. Not because Banaras disappoints, but because the intensity is hard to navigate if you don’t stay in the right place.
That is why we are here. Our homestay in Varanasi near Assi Ghat is positioned for balance: a short walk to the river, yet tucked inside a peaceful residential colony—so you can experience Banaras fully, and still come back to rest.
Through Explore Banaras, we go beyond just offering a room. We smooth out the edges of your trip with honest guidance, itinerary planning, and practical support.
You explore the ancient city; we handle the modern chaos.
While our manifesto promises you a peaceful space, my personal goal is to promise you a seamless journey.
As the founder of Explore Banaras, I view hospitality through the lens of a traveler. I know that a great trip isn’t just about a comfortable bed—it’s about having a trusted friend in a new city.
Whether you need help planning your sunrise boat ride, finding a safe spot for street food, or just navigating the local culture, I am always available to guide you. We have designed this stay to offer you complete privacy, yet you will never feel isolated.
From the moment you book until the moment you depart, you have my support and local expertise to ensure your time in Varanasi is exactly what you hoped it would be.
Yes, this is our biggest advantage. While we are just a 5-minute walk from Assi Ghat, our home is tucked inside a residential lane. You get the convenience of the location without the constant honking or loudspeakers.
Absolutely. We live here with our family, and the neighborhood is a safe, well-lit residential colony. Being part of the Explore Banaras network, we are always available to guide you on safe routes and transport.

Yes! We offer simple, hygienic, vegetarian Satvik meals prepared in our family kitchen. It is the safest way to enjoy local flavors without worrying about your stomach.
We use a high-speed fiber connection suitable for video calls and streaming. Many digital nomads stay with us specifically for the mix of peace and connectivity.
Yes, we offer select rooms with direct views of the Ganges. Since these are limited, they tend to get booked first.
However, our home is located directly opposite the Ghat. So, whether you have a window view or not, you are just steps away from the water. You can watch the sunrise at the river and be back in your room for morning chai in less than two minutes.
