About Tour
A poetic and spiritual journey through the life of Goswami Tulsidas in Kashi
“Ananda Kānane hyasmin jāngamāstulasi taruhu,
Kavitā mañjarī bhāti Rāma bhramara bhūṣitā.”
In Kashi, the forest of bliss (Ananda Kanan), there once moved a living Tulsi plant – Goswami Tulsidas. His poetry was a fragrant blossom that drew the divine honeybee, Lord Rama, to hover eternally above it.
This trail takes you through the sacred and literary landscape of Tulsidas, one of India’s greatest poets and saints. From the ghats where he first set foot in Kashi to the temple he founded, you will experience the devotion, storytelling, and living Ramayana tradition that still breathes in the city’s lanes and shrines.
Recommended Time: Morning (6 AM – 9:30 AM) or Late Afternoon (4 PM – 7:30 PM)
Total Duration: 3.5 hours
Starting Point: Namo Ghat
Ending Point: Sankat Mochan Mandir
Note: This experience includes a fair amount of walking through ghats, narrow lanes and temple courtyards. For a more relaxed end, a private boat ride along the ghats can be added for ₹3000.

VerifiedWalking with a friend Sourabh was the absolute best storyteller. He made us feel like we were walking around with a friend. He has a huge enthusiasm for history, and loves to tell you about what you’re seeing but also his thoughts on why it matters. He wants you to enjoy and you can’t help but do that. You’ll be asking so many questions as you learn more and more. We went first thing, seeing the morning aarti and meandered through the ghats, unexpected places and stories popping up everywhere. A storyteller, not a guide, Sourabh is a breath of fresh air for tourists looking to learn and gain a deeper understanding of Varanasi - anything else you learn is a welcome bonus. Enjoy.

VerifiedExperience the core of Banaras with Varanasi Guru Saurabh from Varanasi Guru provided an exceptional walking tour experience, showcasing in-depth knowledge of the city. The tour encompassed food and culture exploration, delivering a superb overall experience. I was with Varanasi Guru for 4 days on the occasion of Dev Deepawali and couldn't have asked for more. Saurabh helped explore different ghats during different time's of the day to witness the life going around. I would highly suggest Varanasi Guru for your next visit to Banaras to experience the core.

VerifiedI am so glad that I did it! Thanks a lot for showing me your beautiful city. Picture strolling down old streets before sunrise, sipping hot chai, and hearing amazing stories from a guide who felt like a local friend. From the sunlight on temple spires to the boatman on the Ganges, every moment was like feeling Varanasi's heartbeat. It wasn't just sightseeing; it was a chance to truly connect with the city, understand its stories, and even share some Bollywood gossip. Sourabh made me feel like a welcomed guest, not just a tourist, and when I left, I carried not just souvenirs but a piece of Varanasi etched in my heart. If you want an experience beyond the postcard version, trust me, Varanasi Guru is the way to go – it's like making a new friend and letting your soul soak in the ancient vibes of this incredible city. ?

VerifiedWe had best heritage walk experience in Varanasi. Thank you! We had a great experience with them. The guide, Sourabh was very knowledgeable and was also kind enough to customize the walk as per our interests. We wanted to focus more on the history of the city and understand the Hindu rituals at the Ghats. The best part of the entire tour was the storytelling session on the boat ride. He was very patient and answered all our questions. Overall it was a great experience and we are looking forward to coming back in November for the Dev Diwali tour with them.

VerifiedThank you, Varanasi Guru, for showing us the magic that lies beyond the obvious. Had a great experience exploring the city Our guide, Saurabh, wasn't just a walking encyclopedia. He was a storyteller, weaving together history, myth, and personal anecdotes, bringing the stories of Varanasi's temples, palaces, and hidden gems to life. The walk wasn't a rigid itinerary. It ebbed and flowed like the Ganges itself, adapting to our curiosity and questions. We stumbled upon local rituals, tasted forgotten delicacies in bustling alleys, and even ventured into a hidden courtyard where generations of silk weavers continue their ancient craft. Every moment was a surprise, a window into the city's hidden soul. But beyond the sights and sounds, Varanasi Guru's walk offered something deeper. It was a meditation on life and mortality, played out on the stage of the ghats. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the river, we witnessed the daily ritual of life and death, a stark reminder of impermanence and the enduring beauty of human connection.

VerifiedGetting to know Varanasi like never before! This was my third visit to Varanasi and the most memorable one. Accompanied by Sourabh Bhattacharya of Varanasi Guru, I was introduced to this incredible city like never before. Varanasi's rich treasure of history, mythology and culture was gently unravelled by Sourabh through his profound knowledge and understanding of the essence of the city. To anyone who wants to really know Varanasi, I'd recommend the walk by Varanasi Guru in a blink of an eye. Anyone can show you a city but it takes a team of special individuals who love Varanasi to help you know her well.

VerifiedThey make you feel the city Very well curated walk. The whole feeling of "Slowing down and living the moment" was the soul of it. Loved how the team was able to answer all our questions related to history and Indian mythology. If you're a traveler who likes to feel the places more than just visiting them just for the sake of pictures then do take a walk with them. They had a photographer and video guy so we didn't have to waste time on our stupid ass phone.

We reached out to Varanasi Guru and connected with Saurabh for help planning our short trip. His recommendations were spot-on, especially the early morning Subah-e-Banaras experience. The guided boat ride and temple visits were perfectly timed and smoothly executed. Truly a hassle-free way to explore this soulful city.

Had a great experience with Varanasi Guru for our Ganga boat ride. Everything was easy from the start - the booking was quick, they reached the pickup spot on time, and the boat was clean and comfortable. We got to see the aarti from the river, which looked beautiful. Overall, it felt organized without being too formal and we didn’t have to worry about anything.

One of the best experiences in Varanasi.
The walk felt personal, not touristy - full of hidden temples, stories, and real insights into the city’s culture.
Felt less like a tour and more like discovering Varanasi with a local friend.
Highly recommend if you want to truly feel the city.

Booked the boat ride for a quick girls’ trip and it was such a vibe. The staff was nice, didn't make us feel awkward or anything. They suggested a better timing too, which honestly helped with the crowd. Ride was smooth and the views were just beautiful. Would totally do it again without stressing.

Varanasi Guru ( Saurabh ) suggestions were very useful for us to watch the evening Ganga arati at Dasashvamegh ghat, Morning Ganga arati at Assi ghat subsequently boat ride thru 84 ghats and Vishwanath ji darshan. We planned our Varanasi visit thru Varanasi Guru and it was seamless experience.

Banaras is the epitome of unwavering love
for one another in the midst of the chaotic world that often dupes people by forging them into submissiveness and treachery.
Every corner of this place calls for its re-awakening of one’s inner self. It’s un browsing history finding its way back into the shallowness of hearts by dismantling the fears and despairs of others.
Our morning tour at Assi Ghat which was organised by Varanasi guru was one such example of this etherealness, it had left an indelible mark in our hearts for Varanasi’s captivating beauty and its simplistic lifestyle followed by the perfect blend of storytelling at Ganga ghats.
It was truly a wonderful experience to surrender ourselves completely in the womb of the nature.
