Suryauday Haveli

Varanasi

Fourteen rooms on the ghats at Varanasi, with the river at the door.

The place

A haveli on Shivala Ghat, built by the royal family of Nepal, with the Ganges directly below it. Staying on the river rather than back in the city changes Varanasi completely — you wake to it, and the boats leave from your own steps at dawn.

What is there

Directly on the ghats
Sunrise and sunset boat trips from the steps
Courtyard and terrace over the river
Ayurvedic treatments
Guided walks into the old city
Fourteen rooms, several with river views
