A fantastic guide (and friend) for an incredible and unique city - Amar is a fantastic guide for an incredible and unique city as Varanasi. Going with him you will get plenty of photo opportunities that would be very difficult (if not impossible) to get by yourself. Not only I recommend him, but also I am already planning another trip to spend more days exploring the city with him.

Aghori interview - Great experience with Amar! Despite the rain, he didn’t cancel and we managed to do an incredible interview with an Aghori. He’s super friendly, passionate, and very professional. A truly unique experience — highly recommended!

Photographic adventure in Varanasi - I had a great experience with Amar in Varanasi. He assisted my friend and I to allow for a great photographic experience. With his assistance we were able to set up some beautiful images which capture the essence and spirituality of Varanasi and the Ganges. I would recommend to get in contact with Amar if you are looking for a good photographic experience of Varanasi.

Amazing photo tour in Varanasi - My photography journey has taken me to many places, but my experience in Varanasi stands out as one of the absolute best. From the moment I arrived, Amar welcomed me with incredible warmth and insight. He is not just a guide; he is a storyteller with a deep, genuine connection to the people and spirit of Varanasi. His unique access and relationships—from the local residents to the Naga sadhus and even the Aghori—are unparalleled. This allowed me to capture authentic and powerful moments. Amar poured his heart and soul into our project. His understanding of photography is also great. Although I spent only two days there, the memories and images I captured will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend Amar highly enough for anyone seeking a profound and transformative photography tour in Varanasi.
