Indrajeet organized this trip over a span of 2 days with trips within Varanasi and Saranth. Our guide Vinod was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting information about the different places. He was patient with my elderly family and my children. I would recommend Indrajeet as courteous and hassle free guide in Varanasi
