Every guide here is licensed by the Ministry of Tourism, lives in the region they show you, and has been with us for years — not booked from an agency the night before.
Anyone can walk you past a temple and read out a date. The guides on this page will tell you why the door faces the river, which lane sells the good kachori, and when to stop talking so you can just watch the aarti.
Founded Kashi Experts in 2007 and still guides personally. Knows the Kashi Vishwanath corridor, the old-city lanes and the aarti timings better than anyone on our roster.
Runs the Ayodhya and Prayagraj routes and manages the long multi-city itineraries. The person to ask when a trip has to fit an awkward set of dates.
Guides the full Buddhist circuit - Sarnath, Bodhgaya, Rajgir and Nalanda - and speaks Japanese, which makes him the first choice for pilgrim groups from East Asia.
Runs our old-city heritage walks and the Banaras food walk. Speaks French, and is the guide most requested by families travelling with children.
No guide speaks that language yet — try another filter.
Language, pace, how much history you actually want, whether there are children or grandparents along. Give us that and we will match the person, not just fill the slot.
Let Kashi Experts help you plan a journey that touches your soul.
