Why This Guide Matters

Varanasi’s airport is about 25–32 km from the city’s ghats and temples. The drive usually takes 40–45 minutes depending on traffic . Pre‑booking a taxi ensures a safe ride and a fixed fare. Small sedans like the Swift Dzire or Indica typically charge ₹750–₹950 for a one‑way transfer . Larger vehicles such as Ertiga or Innova cost more because they seat 6–7 passengers and carry extra luggage . For travellers arriving late at night or planning a full‑day tour, packages with 8 hours/80 km or 12 hours/200 km are available
