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!!
Me agrado mucho el recorrido, se tomó el tiempo de explicarnos y se ve que disfruta su trabajo. Nos llevó a todos los puntos que esperaba y más. Nos dio recomendaciones al final para disfrutar de una deliciosa cena y siempre estuvo al pendiente de nosotros lo recomiendo mucho. Gracias Anant! 😊
Muy buen tour, lo recomiendo. El guía esta dispuesto a responder cada duda y pendiente de que aprendas. La ruta que realizamos estuvo muy buena ya que no solo pasamos por los lugares más turísticos sino que también por lugares que son un local no verías.
Anant has very positive energy. He does not only give you a lot of information about the city, but also about religion and culture, which is critical to understand Varanasi. Unfortunately, towards the end of the tour, once again we were taken to a "local textile store", where the prices were 4 times higher than any other store (had no locals buying). This was unnecessary and completely killed the mood of the whole tour, as we felt they wanted to cheat us.
We had a tour with Anant who gave us a crash course in Hinduism and we liked it very much. He took us to different temples, told us the stories of different gods and goddesses, we visited manikarnika and even made a praying with a spiritual man by the ganges :) All in all, we recommend booking a tour with him and discover a little bit of the history of varanasi and its ceremonies.
