Visit to Sarnarth - This was an amazing experience with our really experienced and knowledgeable guide who was able to bring a depth of knowledge to our trip that we would not have had otherwise. A very serene and calm place to visit, well worth a visit to understand and appreciate the cultural and historical importance of Sarnath.

Fantastic guides - Our guide Shyam was absolutely wonderful, he gave us so much interesting information and was very engaging. I am very glad that I went with him for the tour as the visit would not have meant as much without his stories. However I do think the tour company itself charges a little too much for its tours in general. This does not reflect on the guides at all, they were absolutely brilliant and so kind, insightful, engaging and informative.
