Company info

We are two young brothers - Krishna and Naveen - and we manage the family guesthouse together. Naveen completed his Masters in Business Administration in 2012, at the local Banaras Hindu University, one of Asia's biggest universities. We love meeting people from all over the world and find the diverse backgrounds and cultures of our guests fascinating, not to mention valuable in shaping our own understanding of the world. We are more than happy to host our guests beyond a place to sleep, taking them out to see beautiful spots in Varanasi whenever we have the time. We are always here to help and guide so that guest' experience is maximised - it's our pleasure.

Property info

We have been living in the guesthouse for more than 90 years, over four generations, and it is a beautiful spacious property with a welcoming homely feel and a lot of lovely natural light. We currently have three double rooms and two single rooms - with shared bathroom facilities - available for bookings. Our favourite spots are the rooftop terraces where our guests eat breakfast, drink chai and sometimes relax with a cold Indian beer in the afternoon sun. Your friends are our friends, and we encourage you to bring other travellers in to enjoy the beautiful rooftop experience.

Neighborhood info

We are located just a few minutes walk from the famous Assi Ghat along Varanasi's river, where you can sit and relax, or walk 20-30 minutes further to find the other main Ghats and cremation areas. The Bazaar, markets, shops and restaurants are all walking distance from us and you can rest assured knowing that the neighbourhood is one of the safest in Varanasi, even at night time.
