Top 10 Classes & Workshops in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
The north Indian city of Varanasi, or Benares, is regarded as sacred by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains. Situated in the fertile Ganga valley and on the banks of the Ganges, Varanasi is a place of pilgrimage for Hindus, who come to bathe in the holy river. Known as the City of Temples and a beacon of culture, Varanasi has produced many renowned writers. It’s also a center of silk weaving, so practice haggling at the chaotic bazaar for some beautiful souvenirs. Rickshaws are the best way to get about.

It has been almost two months since I started online Hindi lessons with Raju. I am very happy with the educational method used by Raju for learning! The courses are not only spent in joy, good humor but above all seriousness and rigor. It is always with joy that I continue my practice of the Indian language with Raju over the online courses. When the borders are open again, I will be happy to continue the face-to-face lessons to improve my level. Raju is a seasoned, patient, demanding teacher who combines professionalism and relaxation during his interventions. Thank you Raju! See you soon in Varanasi! Fingers crossed.

I spent seven days in Varanasi and contacted Binit a few weeks before my arrival. He also arranged a great place for me to stay, in walking distance from his school and Assi Ghat. All very casual and well organized, which supported my learning environment. My goal was to learn as much Hindi as possible in that one week, starting from zero. Binit and his wife Sushma were very accommodating to my wishes, and I had 2 classes in the morning and 2 classes in the afternoon nearly every day, even on weekends, with enough time for “homework” which they also assigned. She ended up focusing more on language, whereas he focused more on Devanagari and grammar, where I was happy to follow his strict lead in order to avoid wasting time on the very basics. They have different characters/teaching methods, and the mix worked out well for me. I got what I expected and then some more, since they would also give me insights to “Life in India” whenever I had questions. I find the rate of 500 INR per private lesson (50 mins) very fair, especially compared to prices in Europe or North America. The location of the school room is very convenient, close to several good restaurants and Assi Ghat. I wish them both and their school well for the future, and should my path lead me back to Varanasi I’ll make sure to sign up for more classes with them again.

We found it a little challenging to find Richa’s place, but that was part of the adventure and we had a determined tuk-tuk driver so we got there in the end - and we're so pleased we did. This was a delightful experience, firstly to help Richa prepare meals, which were relatively simple but also delicious, and to learn more about daily life in Varanasi. It was such a treat to meet Richa and her family. Authenticook is a great concept for building connection and understanding between different cultures while having great fun.
