Unforgettable Varanasi - The tour of Varanasi was an amazing one. We started the day on the Ganges over a boat ride. It was mesmerizing. The temple and market visits were fascinating and these memories will stay on for long. We enjoyed the Ganga river prayer in the evening as well. I would suggest this tour is a great way to explore Varanasi.

Impossible made possible - We had a wonderful 10 day trip visiting Kumbh Mela, Ayodhya, Naimisharanya and Kashi with 5 Senses. Best part is as promised by 5-senses tours we were completely escorted at all times and never left to ourselves to figure things out. That is the specialty of 5 senses tours. It's worth paying for. Recommend especially for NRIs and travellers unfamiliar with Bharath. You pay more but it's executive service and it's worth it. Even though we are NRIs and well travelled within India, we found this arrangement with 5 senses a predestined boon in our travel plans. If not for 5 senses the trip may have felt tiresome if not incomplete as we may have skipped places. We thank Bhagwan Sriman Narayana spoke through Mr. Madhusudan Narayanan and gave us the intuition to select 5 senses tours for this trip. We were guided by "Driver" and local EXPERT and all rounder Sri Ram Sewak, plus guides like Sri. Vivek Sinha who arranged VIP area snaan and Prakash who knows gulleys of Kashi to avoid crowds. Little touriing and information sharing was possible as the main concern was to get in and out of temples. Knowledge of local gulleys was more useful than what we could have heard about history etc. We are certain they have that expertise also however this was not the trip for that.Ram Sewak took excellent care of us. If Ram Sewak or one of his brothers is with you, consider the trip is blessed as they will get you through the trip safely with lots of information while driving the car and guidance while getting in and out of temples. They are very familiar with all rituals also if you are interested. We were. He had made plans for all the rituals we wanted to conduct in punya kshetra. The Kumbh mela trip was challenging. Choosing to do Ayodhya and Kashi at the same time was an idea all Kumbh mela travellers shared. We saw crowds, long lines, delays and bareicades every where. Ram Sewak helped us navigate them and we managed to get the best Darshan time and location could permit. Sometimes door-darshan was more peaceful and clearer than nikat Darshan. He knew what would work practically well and suggested it and we got the Darshan. We specifically thank Ram Sewak and all who made this trip possible. 🙏🙏🙏
