Success with your work.

  To unlock the secrets and beauty of Varanasi, you'll definitely need a guide. We booked Karan through the recommendation of a friend and found him to be the best guide... read more on our tour of India. We had a little over 24 hours in Varanasi, and he was with us till well after sunset and before sunrise the next morning. His English is excellent. Karan shares not just the standard guidebook facts about Varanasi but also the stories of the culture and people that bring it to life. I highly recommend his tour of northern portion of Varanasi. He took us through many alleyways and buildings we would not have dared to venture on our own. Along the way, we had both the best lassi and best samosa I've ever had. Cannot recommend him enough.

  My husband and I, both in our 50s along with our mothers (in their 80s) had been to Varanasi this March and at the very outset we decided that we... read more needed a private guide for the whole trip who can tailor our activities to suit our physical abilities. After an online search, I chanced upon Sachan tours. Looking back, I’m glad we engaged him. Karan was with us throughout the 3 days and made sure we missed nothing - the usual touristy as well as the ‘off the beaten track’ Varanasi. He took us for both sunset and the sunrise boat rides during which he familiarised us with the history of the place. We saw both Ganga Aarthis - morning & evening. He took us to the main 5 temples as per our wish and ensured that we went at a slightly less crowded time and were able to do things at our own pace. He took me and my husband on educative walks through the historical parts of Varanasi, around the Kashi Vishwanath temple and along some of the important ghats while our mothers rested in the hotel during the afternoons. He took us to safe eateries where we tasted local Banarasi street food. He took care of all the local transportation. It was a complete package. Karan is very friendly and knowledgeable - having studied history and having lived in Varanasi for many years. I would highly recommend him when you visit Varanasi.

  If you're looking for a guide in India, don't look further. Karan has gone out of his way to help me manage my way through omicron-struck India, and my search... read more for a good university to study in India. He went with me to Varanasi and the whole omicron wave caused quite a bit of trouble for me, which led me to having to organize/call many institutions by phone due to pcr-tests, quarantine and all those kinds of things, for which he's been a great relief and help, moreso than I can even write down here. Since both his Hindi and English are very good (I'm dutch and my hindi is very basic), and he's familiar with both western and Indian culture, he could help me breach the language barrier (which was bigger than I had anticipated) and get things done. This also helped to get in touch and talk to students at the Banaras Hindu University to find out more about the course there, which was the whole intention of my trip. Also he told and showed me a lot about indian culture which helped me see India in a way I couldn't have on my own. Another thing is that since he's a local here, he will prevent you from getting overcharged.

He is hospitable, organized (more than me), friendly, funny, intelligent/knowledgeable, earnest and above all, he loves to guide. A nice moment was when Karan asked a tandoori roti baker if I could hop on to the platform he was standing on, so I could peek over his shoulder to see how he made them in the oven (interesting process actually)... since he (Karan) knew I'm interested in food and cooking. I haven't done a regular tour with him, but I have no doubt it is equally as good.

Karan, I wish you all the best and really hope you can go back to guiding full-time despite of all the corona stuff.

Thanks for all your help.
