Private Tour of Varanasi Villages

  • 4 reviews | 40 travellers
    This was an incredible tour where we had the opportunity to meet the real daily life of people around varanasi. Priyagungun was an amazing guide, he was very respectful and explained us everything with a lot of detail. In the tour we visited: A pickle production factory, the houses of people in Chirangon, the rice plantations, we visited a school and had lunch with the children there, we visited a house where a saint lives, and a saree artesan factory and shop

Varanasi Villages Tour

After being picked up from your hotel in Varanasi, you'll begin your tour of the villages that surround the sacred city. In the comfort of a private vehicle, experience the day to day lives of people in these tiny Indian villages. When you reserve your private tour of the villages of Varanasi, you'll be able to choose from two options:

4 hour tour

If you choose this option, you'll enjoy a tour lasting four hours of two villages near Varanasi. After being picked up at 8 am, you'll be taken to Sarai Mohana, known for its production of silks, used to create India's most iconic item of clothing: the sari. Watch first-hand as craftsmen and women weave these magnificent colourful fabrics. You'll also have the opportunity to buy one if you'd like - a stunning souvenir of your time here.

Next, you'll head to Chiraigaon, where you can experience the true essence of India seeing the daily lives of the people who live here. Having truly explored village life in Varanasi, you'll return to your hotel.

8 hour tour

If you'd prefer to spend a full day exploring the fascinating villages around Varanasi, this eight hour tour will also take you to Sarai Mohana and Chiraigaon, as well as visiting Kapildhara and Rameshwar.

After being picked up from your hotel at 9 am, you'll visit Sarai Mohana to appreciate the beauty of their famous saris, before heading to Kapildhara, where you'll learn all about the area's gastronomy and discover the local cattle farms.

You'll continue to Chiraigaon and finally to Rameshwar, a village in which you can experience one of the most incredible sights of the day: getting to see a Sanskrit class. Watch in awe as the youngest of children learn to write this ancient language.
