How To Reach Varanasi

Varanasi is served by Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport. Travellers can fly from major Indian cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and Hyderabad. International travellers usually connect through Delhi, Mumbai or other Indian metro airports.Varanasi Junction, Banaras and Kashi railway stations connect the city with most major Indian routes. Train arrival station matters because transfer time to the ghats, hotels and temples can vary.Road travel works well from nearby cities like Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Bodhgaya, Lucknow and Patna. For pilgrimage circuits, a private vehicle with local planning is usually more comfortable.For first-time visitors, arrive by afternoon, keep the evening for Ganga Aarti, and start temple visits early next morning. This gives a smoother Varanasi experience.
