How to save money on your Varanasi trip

  • Shared boats for Ganga Aarti are far cheaper than private ones.
  • Stay near the ghats to walk everywhere.
  • Avoid peak months if you can: hotel rates are often 30–50% lower outside them.
  • Book Jaipur–Varanasi trains as soon as reservations open; sleeper and 3AC sell out fast in season.
  • Travelling as a group of four? Local cab costs split four ways — the calculator shows the saving.
