Sarnath is the place where Buddha preached his first sermon after enlightenment in Bodh Gaya. It is a great pilgrimage centre for Buddhist. First of all your tourist guide will take you to Archeological Site where you will see Dhamekh Stupa which was made by Ashoka in the 3rd century BC. It represents the place where Buddha preached his first century. Then you will visit the Archeological Museum of Sarnath where you will see the national emblem(four lions) of India and many statues of Buddha and Hindu Gods. Finally, you will see big Buddha(80 feet). It’s a fascinating journey into the roots of the religion.
Ganga Aarti in Varanasi is a highly spiritual and captivating ritual that takes place every evening on the bank of the Ganges river. It is performed on a stage by a group of young Hindu priests. Chanting of hymns and blowing of the conch shell marks the start of the Aarti after that priests do this ceremony with incenses, flowers, and fire. More or less 12000 pilgrims gather there to see the Aarti. The Aarti starts after the sunset at around 6:30 pm in the winter season (7:00 pm in the summer season) and is a forty-five-minute long soulful ritual.
Taking a walking tour in the old city and along the ghats of Varanasi is a great way to experience the city’s vibrant culture.

I completely enjoyed my custom private tour of Varanasi with Mr. Sahu. His prompt, professional, courteous, and informative service was exceptional, showing me an immersive bespoke experience into Varanasi. From pre-dawn pick up, walk and Ghat boat tour, to walking the old narrow winding alleyways of the city, visiting the key Temple sites, the Fort, and the Masjid, I got to see Varanasi in a way that organized group tours did not offer. His service is worth every penny !!
Very professional and accommodate all our requests. Quite knowledgeable.

Myself and wife recently visited Varanasi. Our trip wouldn’t have been accomplished, if we wouldn’t have our guide, Mr Ashok with us. He is a man of ethics, well behaved person and helped us to get the actual essence and history of Varanasi.
