if you really want to visit the Ghats of Varanasi and look for local culture, then distance does not matter. Everything that matters is your devotion and your willingness to get spiritual peace, as each and every Ghat and temple has a separate significance.

Assi Ghat is the last Ghat on the south side of Kashi. It is on the left bank of the Ganges. There are many temples and akhadas near it. To the south of Assi Ghat is the Jagannath temple where a fair is held every year. It is one of the five pilgrimages of Assi Ghat Varanasi. Ganga Aarti is held at night at Assi Ghat where a large number of people come to see the Aarti.
