- AKAthar Test Payment· June 25th, 20257-Day Buddhist Tour – Highly Recommended! I had a wonderful experience on the 7-day Buddhist Tour with Varanasi Excursion. The entire journey was very well-organized, comfortable, and deeply enriching. From Bodhgaya to Sarnath and Kushinagar, every destination was thoughtfully planned with ample time for sightseeing and reflection. Special thanks to Bablu, our driver, who was incredibly professional, punctual, and always made sure we felt safe and at ease throughout the journey. His driving skills and knowledge of the local routes made the trip smooth and stress-free. A heartfelt thank you to Aamir, the owner of Varanasi Excursion, for personally ensuring everything went perfectly. He was always available to answer questions and provided excellent support from start to finish. His commitment to quality service truly made a difference. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in exploring the Buddhist heritage sites in India with comfort and care!Show moreTrip date: June 2025

- Michael· February 25th, 2019This Buddha pilgrimage took me to all the sites I wanted to visit. From Lumbini, Nepal (birthplace), through India ... Kapilavastu (childhood home), Bodhgaya (where enlightened), Rajgir, Sravasti, and Vaishali (lectured/taught), and Kushinagar (place of death). Also enjoyed seeing Hindu ceremonies along the River Ganga. Biggest advantage of this tour is driving in a smaller vehicle with a small group, as opposed to a large bus with larger tour group (slower pace).Show moreVaranasi Excursion Pvt Ltd commented on this reviewHello Miichael, thank you very much for your valuable Review and good words.
