This trip if organised from hotel drsk can at the mac take 5000 rupees, where as La Vacanza Travel made me pay 14000! I don’t know where thos price gauging happens but this is a unfair rip off even if i consider that La Vacanza Travel will be more expensive.

My wife and I enjoyed a great tour on 1 November 2019 with Jin, our very friendly guide. He showed us Sarnath first, which is very important for the history of Buddhism and a very tranquil place, before we hit Varanasi. The tour included plenty of interesting locations and Jin shared many interesting facts with us. We also got to see some unusual sights like the local wrestling pit (see if you can lift one of those weights!) and the area by the Ganges where Hindu men shave their heads. A great tour and highly recommended. Note: The tour does not include the Kashi Vishwanath Temple or the mosque.
