Me and my wife had visited Varanasi during Holi festival. We were aiming for famous Holi of Masaan-vali, which is celebrated at the Manikarnika-ghat. Karan has reserved his days in... read more prior and we had some of the best tours we ever had with wandering in the labyrinth of the old gullies and halting to visit some of the most beautiful temples and mansions. Many of those came out only because of corridor project, as we were informed. Varanasi is a very nice city if one wants to experience the zeal of pilgrims, very safe for strangers. The best experience was to be at the Manikarnika ghat for the especial Holi with ashes from the pyres. Karan had the stories about every nuke & corners. Sitting at the turns in those centuries old streets and listening him with the tea in a terracotta cup is the best way to explore the oldest living city of the world. He was simply the best for his knowledge, superb English, punctuality and to organize everything very well.. :))

  We absolutely loved the walking tour. A friend highly recommended Karan to us, so we got in touch and he quickly replied and booked us for a walking tour around... read more Varanasi. Karan was so helpful and have so much knowledge about Varanasi and Indian history and culture in general. Karan answer all of our questions and took us around places that we would have possibly never found without him. You can tell that he loves Varanasi and his country and he's more than happy to share all of his knowledge. Once we left Varanasi Karan kept making sure that we were OK texting and asking how our travel around India was going, and offering advise. Overall, the walking tour was an amazing experience that we will recommend, very enjoyable and interesting. 100% we will repeat it when we come back to Varanasi.

  I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Sachan Walking tours. Karan took me to some incredibly interesting spots which I perceive were over and above what I would have expected from... read more a normal tour company. I would highly recommend him to anyone going to Varanasi. It's an incredibly intricate city which Karan is excellent at navigating through.

  I wrote a trip review for Karan after my trip to Varanasi in 2018. I went back to India at the beginning of 2020 (prior to the lock down) and... read more absolutely had to go back to do another tour with Karan since we have kept in touch since my first trip. In my last review I stated how nice it was that I felt like I was leaving India with a new friend, and that has not changed. He is honest, kind, and extremely knowledgeable, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. I place a lot of stock in who people are, and he is someone I value as a person.

Separately, as a woman who frequently travels alone, I feel safe with him. This feeling is worth a lot to me, so I encourage solo female travelers to consider his services if they are looking for a tour guide. You will feel like you're being cared for by a friend and you will learn a ton about India in the process. I love learning from him.

The next time you're in the northern part of India, do yourself a favor and book with him. He is well worth it.

  We had booked Karan about a month before our trip to Varanasi. Booking through TripAdvisor was not possible. We met him in our hotel and Karan himself shown us some... read more of the most beautiful places, havelis, mansions, bazaars and old markets. Morning boat tour and Sarnath were really great. Will recommend him without more words. His tours are to be experienced than to write about.. 🙂

  Our tour with Karan was amazing, he is extremely knowledgable about Varanasi and various religions and India in general. He tailored the experience to what we wanted and answered all... read more of our questions in detail- his English is incredible. Would highly, highly recommend if you are visiting Varanasi it made our trip to this city so much better and we learnt more than we could have imagined.
