Between Life and Death The Hidden World of the Aghori
Step off the usual paths of Varanasi and enter the mysterious world of the Aghori, one of India’s most secretive and misunderstood spiritual orders. Your guide, Golu, once lived among them, giving you rare insight into a world few outsiders ever see. Golu shares the truth behind their myths — their cremation ground rituals, devotion to Shiva, and their radical pursuit of spiritual freedom by embracing what others avoid. He brings to life a world where darkness and divinity exist side by side, and where ideas of purity and impurity lose all meaning. You will visit places connected to the Aghori and learn about their sacred practices, symbols, and philosophy. While meeting an Aghori cannot be guaranteed, the knowledge you gain will stay with you long after the tour ends. This is more than a tour — it is a rare chance to explore the edges of life, death, and spiritual transcendence, guided by someone who has truly experienced it firsthand.

Private Full-Day Tour of Buddhist History in Sarnath
Varanasi is regarded as the spiritual capital of India, thus attracting a lot of people every day. The city has many temples dedicated to different deities holding great importance in the Hindu religion. But since India is home to diversity where many religions are practiced, Varanasi is not different. Out of which Buddhism is one of the major religions practiced in India. Buddha came to Sarnath to preach his message of the middle way to nirvana after he achieved enlightenment at Bodhgaya, and gave his famous first sermon at the deer park here in Isipatana. Emperor Ashoka erected magnificent stupas and monasteries here, as well as an engraved pillar. When Chinese traveler Xuan Zang dropped by, Sarnath boasted a 100m-high stupa and 1500 monks living in large monasteries. However, soon after, Buddhism went into decline, and when Muslim invaders sacked the city, Sarnath disappeared altogether. It was only ‘rediscovered’ by British archaeologists.
