Banaras Photography Tours
In my nearly eight years of leading photography tours, helping to guide documentary crews, and five years of running the highest rated cultural tour in Varanasi, I have helped countless travelers and professionals explore and document the unique and mystical culture in our beautiful city. Every part of the tour can be tailored to your interests. If you wish, we can take out a boat for sunrise to capture the ghat or walk through the markets, and if you get hungry I can lead you to restaurants or street food that is safe to eat for travelers. With me, you will see a side of the city that is not usually available to travelers such as the Aghori Sadhus, traditional wrestling, and cremation ceremonies. These ceremonies are at the heart of spirituality in our city, and with my tour you will be welcomed by the local people here to photograph some of the most sacred moments of life.
