Our private guide Bharat offered extensive knowledge in the religious and historical history of India (Varanasi) We had amazing views of both sunrise and sunset ceremonies along the Ganges.
Transportation was professional and catered to whatever we wanted to see. We would have preferred a hotel closer to the river. But getting there was an adventure in itself! There was time to roam the backstreets under the guidance of Bharat, who frequently offered his fascinating insight.

We went on a private tour, to perform the rituals of my elder brother who passed away 25 days ago at Bengaluru. All were performed at Manikarnika ghat and other things were done at Preist's place, Swaminarayana temple, of Benares.
Lord Vishvanath's darshan was very much appreciated. The ambiance is clean, friendly. Now it is very spacious, and approchable.
