We had the most excellent tour with Niraj. He’s basically a historian, his knowledge and enthusiasm are awesome. You couldn’t wish for a better guide. Such a nice man too, friendly warm, nothing is too much. He made our trip Varanasi a memorable and learning experience, helping navigate the huge crowds created by nearby Kumbh Mela. We had a fantastic time.

Niraj was fantastic..He was so accommodating to my schedule. He went above and beyond to make every detail work perfectly. He was very knowledgeable and I learned so much about Buddhist history. It is obvious he enjoys sharing his knowledge. He has a love for ancient and current cultural customs. Being a woman and traveling alone on this tour, I had no worries...
