Quietly answered.
1. Is this only for Hindus or religious people?
Rooted in Sanatan Dharma — bhakti to Mahadev, Sanskrit shlokas, sattvic living, no non-veg. If these resonate, Kashi welcomes you.
2. Are the 2 AM Mangla & 10:30 PM Shayan Aartis optional?
They are the heart of the trip. No one has ever wanted to miss them.
3. What about the heat in July or August?
July and August are summer months in Kashi — spiritually intense, less crowded than peak season. We walk at dawn (5–9 AM) and from dusk into the night (6 PM – midnight), rest at the villa during midday with AC throughout, and keep you held through it. By 9 AM you’re back in cool comfort until dusk.
4. What’s the food situation?
Pure sattvic. No eggs, no non-vegetarian. Jain, gluten-free, and diabetic needs accommodated with notice.
5. Is this safe for women travelling solo?
Over 40% of past guests have been solo women. The group travels together always, including the 2 AM aartis.
6. What’s the investment?
Editions 05 and 06 are priced as private, fully-hosted experiences — heritage stay at Nawab Ki Deohri, all meals, all transfers, all rituals, and Anshu’s presence across every step. Anshu shares the full investment in conversation, not in copy. It belongs to the call. The ₹499 hold token is fully refundable if there’s no mutual fit. There is no obligation at this stage.
7. What’s the cancellation policy?
₹499 refundable hold token, refunded within 1 working day if not selected. After Anshu’s call and your confirmation, balance is due in 5–7 days. 50% refund up to 14 days before arrival. Medical emergencies handled humanely.
8. What’s the age range?
16 to no upper limit, basis health condition. Past editions: 28 to 70.
9. Who else will be in the group?
Ten seekers, vetted via application — industrialists, founders, doctors, artists, couples, solo women. The call ensures vibe alignment.
10. How do I get there?
Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport (also known as Babatpur, 18 km from villa) or Varanasi Junction (15 min from villa). All transfers from arrival to departure included.
