The Ganges river was so beautiful and so spiritual. I loved learning the history and seeing all the people joined together in faith. It was such a sight watching so many people bathing in the water in the morning. I also enjoyed the ceremony. It was entertaining. It was also my birthday so i enjoyed everything a bit more.

My wife and I visited Varanasi and Vinod Kumar was our tour guide.Vinod was highly knowledgeable in Varanasi history and culture. He did an outstanding job with the tour and was very patient and helped a lot with picture taking. Our whole experience here was magical. If u are a Hindu and visiting India u need to visit Varanasi.The tour company was outstanding.it is an extremely busy city with devotees from all over the world.
