Pillars of Ashoka: Sarnath History and Where to See the Lions
★4.7(478)
Show up by 8am to crush the Varanasi heat and avoid midday crowds. These weathered stone fragments look like simple rubble until you hit the adjacent Archaeological Museum to see the actual Lion Capital. Budget two hours to cover both properly. Skip the overpriced private tours if you prefer roaming solo. Grab cold water before entering the site because the sun here is unforgiving. It’s an essential stop if you appreciate ancient history over modern city chaos.
