Excellent guiding through Manikarnika Ghat and other very special ghats and temples by the banks og Ganges. Very informative and educational. I could never have gotten this Varanasi experience on my own. Worth every penny!

Akash was an excellent tour guide. His English was easy to understand & he took us on an adventure giving all of us knowledge about each stop along the way! Having him as our guide made each stop more meaningful & I learned so much. I would highly recommend Akash to anyone!

I travelled to Varanasi as a solo female traveler from Surat for a 4-day trip (covering Varanasi, Prayagraj, and Mirzapur), and I can honestly say it was a divine experience. My guide, Aakash, was absolutely exceptional. He took me on a detailed walking tour, and his in-depth knowledge of the subject truly made the history come alive. I also had a wonderful experience with his brother, Badal, who went completely out of his way to help me. When I couldn't get a taxi to the airport and was worried about missing my flight, he personally dropped me on his bike. He managed our crunched schedule perfectly, ensuring I saw the maximum number of places without ever feeling rushed. Badal also took me through the famous gali gali (narrow lanes) of Banaras at night. It was an amazing insight into the city’s nightlife, and he even took me to a well-known restaurant for authentic Litti Chokha. As a solo woman traveler, safety and trust were my top priorities, and this team treated me like family. If you want a personalized, safe, and truly magical experience of Varanasi, I highly recommend Badal and Aakash from Mango Travel.

Amazing tour around the city. We walked around and visited the main spots. Akash knows a lot and you can tell he enjoys sharing his knowledge! Highly recommended!

Amazing is the word for this experience and for Badal. I had the best time with him and considering I was solo female traveller, he was extremely caring and I felt like I was exploring Banaras with a friend. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking to explore the parts of Banaras that you otherwise wouldn’t be able too. I am sure he is my go to person the next time I explore Banaras next! ♥️
