Varanasi Päiväretket

Tämä on ensimmäinen kertani Intiassa ja olen niin onnekas saadessani hyvän kokemuksen Klookin kanssa ja parasta onnea saadessani parhaan oppaan, "herra Anandin". Hän on hyvä tarinankertoja ja antoi minun oppia lisää kulttuurista ja historiasta. Tunsin oloni mukavaksi, aivan kuin matkustaisin omassa maassani. Suuret kiitokset :) Jäi näkemättä: Lootustemppeli kiireen vuoksi, mutta palaan pian takaisin.

Due to the increased water levels from the rain, the boat tour was unavailable, but they arranged a cruise tour for us instead. The walking tour of the city was also excellent.

Kokemus Varanasissa oli turvallinen ja miellyttävä. Kävelimme Ganges-joen rantaa pitkin ja opas, herra Sunny, opetti meille paikallista kulttuuria.

We were picked up at the hotel at 5:30 AM, then headed to Bodh Gaya. On the way, we stopped at a service area for about 30 minutes for breakfast. The drive to Bodh Gaya, including the break, took about 5 hours. In Bodh Gaya, we visited the Japanese Temple, Thai Temple, the Great Buddha statue, and the Mahabodhi Temple. It was a shame we couldn't take photos at the Mahabodhi Temple because cell phones weren't allowed, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide, Ritu, explained everything very thoroughly. On the way back, we stopped at the same service area for lunch, and then the tour concluded. It was a wonderful experience.

Had an incredible experience in Varanasi! The sunrise boat ride on the Ganges was absolutely magical, and the evening Ganga Aarti was one of the most beautiful cultural experiences I’ve ever witnessed. The city is full of history, spirituality, vibrant streets, and amazing local food. Every moment felt authentic and unforgettable. The tour was well organized, smooth, and gave us enough time to truly enjoy the beauty of Varanasi. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting India it’s something you’ll remember for a lifetime! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Received the driver and tour guide details prior to the day trip, which was very helpful. Our tour guide, Shivam, was extremely friendly and supportive throughout the entire journey. He stayed with us from start to finish, explaining the places we visited and sharing insights along the way. He even helped us bargain for souvenirs, which was a nice touch! The driver was quiet but very professional—he drove safely, ensured we arrived at each destination on time, and got us back safely as well. Overall, it was a worthwhile and enjoyable trip.
