Thumbs up The Uma Guest House......

This is my friends guesthouse, and this is the flyer I have made him......
Feel free to check out the UMA.......

Nice people only.




The Uma can be a bit tricky to find, but its worth it.....

From the main alley: Take Lahori Tola towards Meer Ghat, head, instead of to the ghat, to the SOUTH INDIA TEMPLE, everyone will know this. From there ask for the UMA GUEST HOUSE.

From the Golden Temple: Cross the main ally, pass under a small arch, with a mini temple inside.... Walk down about 100yds, then at the cross in the paths, turn RIGHT, the Uma is about 50 yds on the Left, after a small shop.

From Meer Ghat: Walk up the steps, at the top, past the cool looking tree you get to a T junction, this is Lahori Tola, walk straight down, past the SOUTH INDIA TEMPLE, and then on to the <<< UMA >>>...

Here I am folks......


Soaking up the masalla in Varanasi, and relaxing at the splendid UMA guest House.. (plug)

A few days ago varanasi was almost flooded out buy monsoon stylee rains and bomb sized hail stones......

India still get more bizarre by the day... Guess what, you now have to get a Doctor to write you a prescription if you want Valium......

Carzy!

Hi Matty,

Is it possible to get a quiet (and of course clean) single room, with a window,
at Uma? What would be the price these days?

I will be there middle of march. Any email adress?

Thanks!

Alain

That's new... in December I was able to buy Valium (er, and the Indian version of Viagra, Caverta - not that I need it!) quite freely in Kerala and Mumbai

Maybe you just need to shop around?

Just found out that if you smile in a nice way, and pay double the roops all your dreams can still come true at the Chemist in Banares....... Despite the new rules brought in by Congress......

SAWASTI PUJA starts today, all you can hear here in the Market is this guy on a PA...... Drilling it into you head.......

Love Matty Gee
