I am Anant Prakash, a local resident here. Born and brought up here only.
I like to meet new people and exchange experiences. At the same time, it feels great to tell about my city.
I am an experienced tour guide, translator and tour guide specializing in English and Russian. I also have good knowledge of the history of Buddhism.
I completed my Russian course at Tashkent State Technical University in Tashkent.
I am well aware with the culture, rituals and traditions of this city, the Spiritual capital of India, Varanasi!!
I assure you that you will have a great time and experience here!!
Anant was hands down the best guide we had across our trip to Northern India. What stood out is his authentic, proud and passionate description of his city - Varanasi. He guided us through the everyday and spiritual life of the city: through his connection across the city he gave us access to a hospice, flower/ghee/paneer/sweet shops, a hospital, houses, a music shop, temples and finally the ghats and cremation sites. As opposed to everyone else we encountered in india he wasn't pushy over spending for donation/buying. Finally he gave us good tips for fair priced boat trips and restaurants.
Estábamos dudosos de coger el tour pero al final ha sido todo un acierto! Súper bien con annant muy entretenido, se conocía todos los rincones y nos llevó a partes de varanassi que no hubiésemos visto ni el 10%, nos metió por callejuelas impensables de entrar sin alguien que te lo diga. Y descubrimos templos y recovecos en los que no hubiéramos reparado. Pra acabar la jornada nos recomendó sitios para comer así como sitios donde comprar cosas. También nos reservo muy barato unas plazas en un barco para ver el aarti ceremony, asique todo un acierto. Gracias annant.
His tour took us to places where we would never have seen. There were so many things about Varanasi we learnt that we thought we knew but did not. Wish we could have seen more because he initiated with his narrative a thirst to know more. He was very considerate of our age giving us time to rest and at the same time also enjoy the delicacies of the taste of Benaras.
With Anant you have an high professional Guide who will show you beutiful places and tell you a lot of high interesting information about all. Highly recomand.
Really enjoyable walking tour showing us the religious and cultural aspects of Varanasi. Learned a lot in the few hours and had the opportunity to try some local sweets, too.
