Anant - Tour Guide in Varanasi

I am Anant Prakash, a local resident here. Born and brought up here only.

I like to meet new people and exchange experiences. At the same time, it feels great to tell about my city.

I am an experienced tour guide, translator and tour guide specializing in English and Russian. I also have good knowledge of the history of Buddhism.

I completed my Russian course at Tashkent State Technical University in Tashkent.

I am well aware with the culture, rituals and traditions of this city, the Spiritual capital of India, Varanasi!!

I assure you that you will have a great time and experience here!!

Wow is an understatement. Anant knows Varanasi like he made the city himself. The spiritual capital of India comes to life within his tour, his knowledge, and his passion. His English was very good and he was very easy to understand. He was able to communicate all of our questions, and tell us things we would’ve never thought to ask. What an eye opening walking tour. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to truly experience what Varanasi has to offer. Thank you so much!!!

Dear Bryan, thank you so much 🙏 All of you really enjoyed my Walking Tour, I could feel that. With your open heart, you explained it so profoundly for the fellow future travelers, it'll be helpful for them to select this tour, and to feel the real vibe of the spritual capital of India.🙏 Regards ☺️

Anant is a professional guide and showed me hidden places and locations that I would never have seen without him. The insights into the culture and religion were very interesting ans authentic. What I didn't like about the tour is that the guide took me to a shop where I could buy souvenirs, scarves, perfumes etc. It's unpleasant if you don't want to buy something. But all in all a good tour.

Response from Anant
Dear, The things which are correlated with our culture, life and traditions with the economic development of our city, it's our duty to show and promote them with their cultural and traditional importance and silk work, wooden toys work and essential oils are from here from Varanasi and back bone of our cities economy and livelihoods of our workers, weavers and it's just to make you familiar with these hand work which are of World importance and there was no compulsion of buying those things so please don't make such remarks and rectify those observations. Thanks 👍🏻

The tour with Anant was super fun! He knows a lot about the city and all the traditions, and he took us through the small streets of Varanasi to places we would not have found otherwise. Big recommendation!

Anant was a great guide! he tells you all about the spiritual, historical and the architectural aspects of varanasi. you could tell he was there to educate us and the focus wasn’t him wanting money. he made sure we understood what he was saying, and re explained anything that we needed repeated. we saw all the highlights in just one tour and feel like we got a great overview of Varanasi and its meaning.

Response from Anant

Die Tour mit Anant war echt super. Er hatte viele Informationen und kannte viele Geschichten und Hintergründe zu den Orten. Wir besuchten ein paar Tempel, enge Gassen und auch die Burning Ghats was sehr interessant war. An ein paar Orten wäre ich ohne die Tour wahrscheinlich nie hingekommen. Am Ende kamen wir genau rechtzeitig zur Ganga Aarti Zeremonie an.
