Taj Nadesar Palace
4.9/546 Reviews
While we stayed in ***y TAJ properties and carry very warm memories of TAJNESS from most of the properties but this property stays in our heart very closely for ***y reasons may be for our life time. 1) Rich legacy this property carries 2) Small & Unique property which we haven't seen by far 3) The suites are very large. In fact they are the largest which we seen till now 4) Most importantly the hospitality shown by each colleague was tremendous and didn't feel till now While every colleague has shown warmth and gave their best but to name few, 1) Rhimjhim- Right from the check in to see off she was there with us. Very Helpful and informative. She took care of our kids when we were out for temple DARSHAN, visits etc. 2) Venu- Very polite and attentive to each of our requirement, be it lunch, Dinner or breakfast-for that matter anything else 3) Vikas- While he is heading food & beverages for both the properties but he made sure that at least he touch based 1-2 times with us and enquired about our comfort. In fact 16th December is his Birthday but still he is at the job and enquiring about our well being. Hats off to his commitment levels 4) GM of the hotel- My apologies for not remembering his name but very kind and there for check in & out while he is busy As mentioned earlier, above are the few names which I mentioned here but otherwise every one was so attentive to our needs and helpful. I thank once again all my colleagues for their excellent hospitality and we will remember this stay for our life time. My kids were so nostalgic that they just wanted to be in Varanasi to stay in this property once again. Not sure whether we can make it in the near future but I'm sure they will definitely make it to this property once again when they grow up and will cherish their childhood memories.

Must-Experience Uniqueness of Varanasi

Varanasi, also known as Banaras or Kashi, is a city that encapsulates the essence of spirituality, culture, and tradition. As one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, it offers a unique experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on any visitor.

One of the must-experience aspects of Varanasi is the mesmerizing Ganga Aarti ceremony held every evening at the Dashashwamedh Ghat. This spiritual ritual involves the offering of prayers to the sacred River Ganges, accompanied by the enchanting sound of bells, chants, and the flickering flames of the lamps. It is a truly awe-inspiring sight that showcases the deep-rooted religious beliefs of the city.

Another unique experience in Varanasi is taking a boat ride along the Ganges during sunrise or sunset. As you glide through the calm waters, you can witness the city come alive with the vibrant colors of the morning or evening sky. The ghats (steps leading to the river) dotted along the riverbank offer a glimpse into the daily lives of the locals, as they perform their rituals and ceremonies.
