Niraan - The Tent City, Varanasi

The luxurious glamping resort, Niraan – The Tent City, Varanasi is the best place to stay in this holy city. It is made from scratch and dismantled as a temporary venue, which means you can experience Niraan only during certain months of the year. What makes Niraan unique is the fact that it is the only Tented Glamping Resort to have been built on a riverbed by the Ganga.

Varanasi has a different meaning for every person and attracts a multitude of pilgrims from India, as well as from across the globe. Believed to be one of the oldest living cities of the world, Varanasi is in the south of Uttar Pradesh, by the Ganga.

Along the river, there are over seventy bathing ghaats, beginning from Assi Ghaat in the south, to Adi Keshava in the north, beyond the bridge. While some are serene ghaats, others are crowded with pilgrims from across India. It is believed that the Ganga descended from heaven to earth and bathing in this holy river cleanses one’s sins away and purifies the soul.

The city has been attracting pilgrims and seekers from all over India for the last 2500 years, right from Buddha, Mahavira, and Shankaracharya, who have come here to teach the deepest meanings of life and Vedas.

The city enamours you with its humble homes bustling with life, noisy streets with rickshaw bells jingling all their way to the labyrinthine lanes, the popular ‘Banarasi Sarees’ being proudly displayed on the roadside, bicycles, taxis, motorcycles, and rickshaws bumbling through the way along with horse-drawn tongas, camels, and rustic pedestrians in tandem, transporting you to a whole new era. An era which is centuries old, yet ages ahead.

“Twenty-five centuries ago, at the least, it was famous. When Babylon was struggling with Nineveh for supremacy, when Tyre was planting her colonies, when Athens was growing in strength, before Rome had become known, or Greece had contended with Persia, or Cyrus had added lustre to the Persian monarchy, or Nebuchadnezzar had captured Jerusalem, and the inhabitants of Judaea had been carried into captivity, she had already risen to greatness, if not glory.”

– Reverend MA Sherring, a mid-nineteenth-century missionary in Varanasi

“Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.”

– Mark Twain

“In India, it is believed that Varanasi is at the centre of the earth as the place of creation, and gathers together the whole of the sacred universe in a single symbolic circle, a mandala. Yet it is not an earthly city. Kashi is said to sit above the earth as a ‘crossing place’, i.e., tirtha between this world and the ‘far shore’ of the transcendent Brahman.”
– Mark Twain
