It's been awhile I have to admit. I don't think the autorickshaw ride was more than 30 minutes, especially with little traffic in the early morning. I would recommend Hotel Buddha, though I only stayed there 2 nights (they were comfortable!). The ride to the Ghats can't be long....maybe 15 minutes depending on traffic. Good luck! Hi.

Could you tell me how long the auto-rickshw ride from your hotel was to Sarnath? Also, would you recommend this hotel Buddha? I don't need fancy but do need no so many bugs and also clean with a shower and friendly oweners. How long does it take to get from Hotel Buddha to the Ghats also? Would this hotel be good for us do you think? Your help is appreciated and thank you for sharing your experiences.

The archaeological site looked as good (well done) as any I've seen in Europe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re spending a few days in nearby Varanasi.

I'm going to have to add it to my list of places I have to visit before I die. :grin: That place looks absolutely breath taking.

I'm always so torn about giving / not giving money when I travel. When I'm at home in the US I don't give to beggars because I give to organizations as part of my regular budget that help people who are under privelaged - and I know that many beggars are addicted to drugs and alcohol in the US. Abroad, however, it's not as easy to 'justify' saying no because that truly might be how that person makes their money. Thanks for sharing your struggles with this dilema as well. Until all have enough and there are no need for beggars! Hey Dave! I’m always so torn about giving / not giving money when I travel.

I understand what you mean about the children... we have the same problems when we travel to Nicaragua each year. They would make excellent telemarketers! haha. Giving them all money would ensure YOU wouldn't eat tonight! Love the blog - I'll be back! :) Leigh Clements The Mystery Maiden Shot In The Dark Mysteries.com Stunning pictures!

I tend to do it if they really annoy me. Sometimes I do it though b/c they pull at your heart strings and 7 cents isn't going to break the budget. but 9/10 times, I say no and walk away. They can get really annoying though. BTW- I voted for Tai Chi!!! There was a recent article on Matador Travel about giving money….the majority of the people said no.
