Manish was a great guide to have on a spiritual tour of Varanasi. We went to several temples and Vedic schools which we never would have found on our own.

This was an amazing trip. We had some difficulties with weather but the team and especially Vinod was so flexible. I have been wanting to come yo Varanasi for so long and it outlived my expectations because of Vinod. I've been all over India and Vinod was one of the most passionate, thoughtful and knowledgeable guides. Would recommend highly.

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
