Why go to Ramnagar

Ramnagar Fort and museum across the Ganga. The Kashi Naresh's riverside fort and museum across the river, and the home of the centuries-old Ramnagar Ramlila.

Is it worth it?

If you have three days in Varanasi, Ramnagar fits in as a relaxed day trip without cutting into the city. With two days, we'd keep to Varanasi itself.
