About The Golden Buddha, Sarnath
The Golden Buddha is a peaceful 30 room family runed property.
Conveniently located in the pollution free enivroment in Buddhist heritage sector of Sarnath. Only a 30 minute drive to the Ganges river and main ghat.
Sarnath is the place Lord Buddha preached his first sermon after attaining enlightenment in Bodh gaya.
Only a ten minute walk away is the national musuem, all major Buddhist monastries, the 64 ft high Dhamek stupa, archological ruins, deer park (Mrigdav), Jain temples and other monuments.
Sarnath is a very ralaxing place to stay and explore. about.
From the hotel you can easily plan your travels around the rest of India as the train station and airport are well connected to everywhere else in India. Our free tourist helpdesk overlooked specially by John, gives a better insight of places as hes travelled and camped extensively and caters to likewise budget travellers.
The hotel also has an authentic Mediterranean restaurant runed by Tahsin from Jordan (of Haifa hotel fame) which opens out to the large gardens and fountain. Our Mediterranean combo comprising of falfals, hummous, babaghanoj, pita and tahina sauce are a hit which hits the spot. Also the different kinds of lafah rolls are the best thing for a cheap, filling quick bite.
The tradional wood oven and grill are also outdoors so you can watch your pizzas and kababs being cooked.
while you enjoy with a great book and have your lunch in the garden.
We'll try our best to make you feel at home.
