Unusual discovery of Benares with Rakesh! - Thanks to the impeccable French and the great culture of Rakesh, I was able to discover Benares in the best way! From the Ganges (on a boat at sunrise) to the venelles, passing through the ghats, nothing escapes us: neither all the nooks and crannies, nor the secrets of this mythical city. Rakesh is very pleasant, professional and humorous. With him we can talk with broken sticks.

My best visit to India! - What a wonderful encounter! Rakesh is an excellent guide, born in Varanasi this bustling city that cannot leave indifferent! He speaks French very well and helps us understand Hindu beliefs: but not that this , with Rakesh we feel the energy of Varanasi , from the morning walk on the Ganges, then we breathe the soul of the old city with its smells, its temples, and the heart is touched near the stake ... we taste the best tea and meet generous people thanks to Rakesh who loves his land! He has the “keys” to the old town and its treasures and offers them to us in all simplicity with beautiful anecdotes that are nuggets!! Thank you Rakesh... 🙏

Guide to friend amid chaos - Visited Varanasi amid an unprecedented surge of tourists (Mahakumbh times) and the city is under tatters. Rakesh Jha turned not just our guide but savoir amid chaos. He not only showcased hidden treasures of this city but turned out to be a great friend to navigate us through narrow lanes of ghat and ocean of people. Highly appreciated 👍🙏
