If Taking a Train to Varanasi:
- From Varanasi Junction Railway Station (BSB):
- Exit the station, turn right, and at the Y-intersection, take the left exit into the city.
- Continue past ‘Englishiyaline crossing’ onto Vidyapeeth Road. Look for Gate #2 of Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth University (MGKVP), or just Vidyapeeth University on your left. The gate unmistakably stands there just about 300 m down the road – you can’t miss it!
- Opposite the gate, enter the alley and follow the ITH signage. The hostel is about 100 metres inside, on the left.
Rickshaws, auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuks), and taxis are readily available just outside of the railway station. We recommend walking though unless manoeuvring through the streets of Varanasi is a challenge you consider not worth taking.

Boating to Varanasi?
Haha, we kid you not. It’s quite doable (at least from nearby cities like Prayagraj). This is a very unlikely scenario, but just in case you do arrive on a boat, let us know and in honour of your adventurous spirit we’ll pick you up for free! Make sure to de-board at Assi Ghat.
Prayagraj was previously known as Allahabad.
