Where we are

Close to the heart of Kashi.

La Aranya sits on the banks of the Ganga, just beyond the busiest part of the city, so the ghats, temples and the Kashi Vishwanath corridor are a short journey away, by river or by road.

Travel times are approximate and vary with traffic and river conditions.

Getting here

By river or by road.

The most memorable way to reach the city is by water: from La Aranya’s own jetty, a traditional wooden boat reaches the ghats in under half an hour. By road, the railway station and Sarnath are under an hour away, and the airport a little more.

Address: on the banks of the Ganga, just outside Varanasi’s city centre. The exact location will be shared closer to opening.

Arrive by the river: Nauka Ghat
