Ashrams to Stay in Varanasi

[John1978]

I will be in India soon and will be mainly be visiting religious places along with the famous tourist areas as well. I will first be in Dehradun and make my way to Varanasi where I will spend around six days.
Throughout my trip, I will be staying at small and cheap accommodations like guesthouses, and I when in Varanasi I know there are a lot of ashrams.
I would like to know what ashrams to stay in Varanasi, please mention is the ashram have any special facilities like WiFi (it's a long shot, but trying my luck )

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Here's a list of a few ashram accommodations in Varanasi:

• Sadhu Bela Ashram
• Mata Anandmai Ashram
• Radha Swami Bag
• Kabir Math
• Shankaracharya Math
• Jangambari Math
• Karpatri Ji Math
• Dandi Swami Math
• Dharm Sangh
• Nirajani Akhanra
• Satua Baba Ashram

These are all free ashram accommodations. You can stay in any of them while you are in Varanasi. A few notes though:

• Make sure you ask permission a few weeks before your trip to Varanasi to stay in any of these ashrams.
• The ashrams are places strictly for spiritual enlightenment.
• You would need to participate in all four daily sessions of meditations and prayers.
• Provide service for at least two hours in a day, be it cleaning, washing dishes or cooking.

I hope this helps!
