Mit navn er Vinay Singh. Jeg blev født og opvokset i Varanasi og har brugt over et årti på at vejlede besøgende – fra solo-rejsende til YouTube-rejsende og dokumentarhold – gennem dens hellige gader. At bo her hele mit liv har givet mig dyb viden om Varanasi' skjulte hjørner, traditioner og åndelige ritualer.
Hver tur er skræddersyet til dine interesser: smage sikker gade mad, se en solopgang ved ghats, vandre gamle gader, besøge skjulte templer, og opleve, hvordan åndelighed forme dagligdagen.
Turer varer tre til fire timer og dækker store historiske og religiøse steder, ghats, kremationsarealer, smalle stier, markeder og hemmelige steder, der afslører den virkelige Varanasi. Undervejs deler jeg ikke kun historie, men også historier om dagligdagen, lokale skikke og mine egne erfaringer med at vokse op her. Mit mål er for dig at forlade med minder og indsigter, du ikke vil finde i nogen guide.

Assi Ghat
30 min
Klokken 5 samles i Assi Ghat for at være vidne til morgenkremeringsritualer og dagens første bønner. Ghaten kommer til live med sangende præster, gløden af rituelle ild, og den faste rytme af hellige tilbud til floden. På baggrund af daggry over Ganges, denne ceremoni indebærer byens dybe kredsløb af tilbedelse, liv og befrielse.
Tulsi Ghat
10 min
Efter Assi Ghat går vi forbi Tulsi Ghat for kort at se den traditionelle wrestling.
Ganges River
Entré inkluderet60 min
Vi begynder nu på solopgang båd del af turen. Rejsen passerer mere end 25 ghats, hvor du vil se lokalbefolkningen bade i floden og morgen ritualer udfolde sig. Undervejs stopper båden ved Manikarnika Ghat for at være vidne til kremationsseremonierne, en kraftfuld og hellig del af Varanasi's liv på Ganges. Turen slutter på Dasaswamedh Ghat, hjemsted for byens mest pulserende aktivitet.
Vishalakshi Temple
10 min
Mens vi vandrer gennem den gamle by, vil vi stoppe og besøge Vishalakshi Temple, dedikeret til gudinden og betragtes som en af de hellige Shakti Peethas.
Nepali Temple (Kathwala Temple)
10 min
Næste på den gamle del af turen er Pashupatinath Temple nær Lalita Ghat, bygget i nepalesisk stil af kongen af Nepal. Denne helligdom afspejler Varanasi's vedvarende rolle som et center for Shiva-dyrkelse og dens kulturelle bånd i Sydasien.
Manikarnika Ghat
30 min
Vi afslutter derefter på Manikarnika Ghat, den mest hellige kremeringsplads i Varanasi. Her brænder begravelsespyres dag og nat, hvilket symboliserer den hinduistiske tro på befrielse fra genfødselscyklussen. Det er et dybtliggende sted, hvor byens åndelige hjerte er mest synligt.

Exceptional, thoughtful guide in Varanasi.Vinay is absolute gold for families!
Touring Varanasi with Vinay from Banaras Wala Tour was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip. We were a family of five, including two elderly members, and navigating the bustling ghats and alleys of Kashi could have easily become overwhelming. Vinay made the entire experience seamless, comfortable, and deeply memorable.
He customized the itinerary entirely to our convenience, paying close attention to our family’s needs and pacing every walk so our elders never felt rushed or tired. Beyond his deep local knowledge and warm hospitality, his language skills are phenomenal—he communicates effortlessly in English, Japanese, and Spanish.
If you are visiting Varanasi—especially if traveling with multi-generational family or seniors do yourself a favor and book with Vinay. You will be in the most caring, capable hands. Highly, highly recommended!

Varanasi sightseeing
I was guided to the crematorium in Varanasi and the evening prayer ceremony!
Because of the monsoon, the water level was high and we couldn't ride the boat in Varanasi, but they were kind enough to suggest the boat for the next day as an alternative!!
He was excellent guide took us in Varanasi places we thought we would never see . We were a little reappointed that the Gangs river was at high tide during this time and could not take boat ride . But our guide did the best to please us seeing another side of Varanasi. Would highly recommended

Personalized and informative tour with Vinay
I signed up to go to the morning aarti and boat ride and because of the water levels during the monsoon season Vinay was able to quickly pivot and do a walking tour instead. He made sure we had an excellent experience at the aarti and knew what was going on. I decided after I booked that I also wanted to go to Sarnath and he easily adding that to my itinerary. And when I told him I was looking for contemporary art nearby he worked quickly to find options and I found a piece I loved and am taking home! It is lovely to spend time with Vinay and he gives very good prices relative to other tours I looked at.

Anybody who goes on this...
Anybody who goes on this experience should be prepared for a lot of meaningful information and education to what is important to their religion. Vinay was an excellent tour guide and helped us so that he made the experience as immersive as possible. He was so kind and really nice to have a chat with. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to experience the process in which they use the ghats and the meaning behind everything they do.

Wonderful……
We had a 2 day private tour with Vinay. Met us at hotel both days. Tailored tour due to heat and ensuring we saw everything.
Vinay has a wealth of knowledge which he shared with us over the 2 days.
Highly recommend a private tour with Vinay. We would never have managed to see so much on our own. Thank you Vinay

Safe, courteous and satisfying guided experience
I asked for a guide for two days.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but in my case, I was dealt with by a private guide.
The way they responded to each one was very attentive, and I was impressed by how sincerely they answered any questions about nature or the meaning of religious ceremonies.
Despite my poor English (almost word level), they were very gracious in their interactions using the translation app and GPT.
I was also able to fully experience the morning prayers to Lord Shiva and Ganga Aarti at night, being guided to a place where I could see clearly. (Some seats are paid around Rs. 200)
We also had an opportunity to walk near the actual place where the cremation was taking place and pray together at a Hindu temple, an experience that is hard for individuals to have.
When I consulted about souvenirs, they showed me to the shop and I was relieved.
I felt Varanasi was more of a place to experience than a place to stay.
I am grateful to Vinay, my guide, for giving me a slow and in-depth experience with a schedule that is not too crammed, and for giving me the proper distance and attention.
The boat operators were also very personable, and the driving was polite and safe.
The experience in Varanasi was very satisfying.
