Everything we arrange

Our Services

One office, one number, and a planner who answers it. From the car that collects you at the station to the guide who walks you through the corridor — we run all of it ourselves.

How We Work

Not a booking site —
a team on the ground

Most of what you see below we do with our own vehicles, our own licensed guides and hotels we have stayed in ourselves. Nothing is sub-contracted to a stranger in another city, which is why we can promise a driver on the platform at 2 a.m. and actually deliver one.

What We Do

or let us build the lot

Licensed Tourist Guides

Licensed Tourist Guides

Ministry of Tourism approved, and local

Guides who live in the town they show you and can read the stonework rather than reciting dates. English, Hindi, Bengali, Japanese, French and more - matched to your group before you arrive.

  • Ministry of Tourism licensed, every one
  • Six languages across the roster
  • Matched to your pace and your group
  • Half-day, full-day or full-trip engagement
  • Meet our guides on the Guides page
From Rs 1,800 per day
Hotel Booking

Hotel Booking

Rooms we have slept in ourselves

From riverside heritage havelis to clean, plain three-stars near the station. We book what suits the trip and tell you honestly which ones are worth the extra.

  • Riverside, old-city or station-side options
  • Budget, deluxe and heritage categories
  • Early check-in arranged for overnight trains
  • Honest advice on what the extra buys you
  • Festival-date rooms held early
From Rs 1,800 per night
Darshan Assistance

Darshan Assistance

Official slots, never touts

Where a temple trust offers an official paid darshan slot, we book it and show the cost on your quote. Where a queue is simply unavoidable, we will tell you that instead of selling you a shortcut.

  • Official temple-trust slots only
  • Kashi Vishwanath corridor guidance
  • Ram Janmabhoomi aarti slots, booked ahead
  • Locker and cloakroom help at the gates
  • Wheelchair arranged with a day of notice
Included in most packages
Boat Rides & Aarti Seating

Boat Rides & Aarti Seating

The best seat is on the water

Sunrise rows from Assi to Manikarnika and evening aarti seating twenty metres off Dashashwamedh - all seven priests in front of you, and you leave when you want to.

  • Private or shared boats
  • Sunrise row, Assi to Manikarnika
  • Evening aarti seating from the water
  • Life jackets on every boat
  • Dev Deepawali boats, booked weeks ahead
From Rs 800 per boat
Rail & Air Ticketing

Rail & Air Ticketing

The legs we would rather you did overnight

We book the trains and flights that make an itinerary work - usually an overnight train on a long leg, because it buys you an extra morning at the destination.

  • Train reservations including tatkal
  • Domestic flight bookings
  • Overnight legs planned to save you a day
  • Station transfers timed to the actual arrival
  • We track delays and move the driver
Ticket cost plus service fee
Group & Family Pilgrimages

Group & Family Pilgrimages

Ten people or a hundred and ten

Extended families, temple societies and corporate groups. We handle the coaches, the block bookings, the meals and the one person who always wanders off at Manikarnika.

  • Coaches and tempo travellers
  • Block hotel bookings at group rates
  • Pure vegetarian and Jain meal arrangements
  • A dedicated coordinator travelling with you
  • Wheelchair and elderly-friendly pacing
On request
From Enquiry to Departure

Four steps, and a real person at each

1

Tell us the dates

Your dates, how many of you, and roughly what you want to see. Two lines is enough to start.

2

We write the plan

A day-by-day itinerary with real timings and a clear price break-up — what is included and what is not.

3

Confirm what you like

Change anything you want. Once it reads right, a part payment holds the hotels and the vehicle.

4

Travel with backup

Your planner stays reachable for the whole trip — not a call centre, the same person who wrote the plan.

Why Travellers Stay With Us

Good To Know

Questions about
our services

A few of the ones we answer most. There are plenty more on the full FAQ page.

See all FAQs

Send your dates and rough plan through the Book Now button on any page, on WhatsApp, or by phone. A planner replies with a day-by-day itinerary and a price break-up. Nothing is charged until you have read it and asked for whatever changes you want.

Usually twenty-five percent to hold the hotels and the vehicle, with the balance payable before departure. On festival dates the hotels themselves demand more up front, and we will say so clearly in the quote rather than surprising you later.

Cancel more than fifteen days before departure and you lose only what the hotels have already charged us, which is usually nothing. Inside seven days the hotel and transport penalties become real, and we pass on exactly what we are charged - no cancellation fee of our own on top.

Two nights and three days is the honest minimum. That covers a sunrise boat, the Kashi Vishwanath corridor, one evening aarti and Sarnath without rushing. Add a night if you want a free morning for the lanes and the food.

October to March for comfortable weather and the full festival calendar. April to June is hot but the ghats are empty and rates drop sharply. July to September is the monsoon - the flooded ghats are a genuine sight, but boat rides can be cancelled on high-water days.

Where the temple trust offers an official paid slot we book it and show the cost on your quote. We do not pay touts for queue-jumping, and we will tell you honestly when a wait is simply unavoidable.
