How to Reach Varanasi
The brief
To reach Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh: By Air: Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS), about 26 km from the ghats, has broad domestic service and select international flights; we manage the fleet handover. By Rail: Varanasi is a major rail hub, with the Vande Bharat and other expresses linking Delhi, Lucknow, and Prayagraj; we handle station transfers. By Road: Well connected by highway to Prayagraj (≈ 120 km) and Lucknow (≈ 300 km); ghat-side access is on foot, which we escort. By Private Fleet: Our GPS-tracked, orthopedic-grade vehicles handle airport, station, and Sarnath transfers, with a chauffeur staged for the old-city walking legs.
Access to Varanasi is a logistics problem MyTripMyTravel solves end to end, gateway selection, permits, transfers, and a GPS-tracked chauffeured fleet, so the journey is part of the mission rather than friction before it begins. Below is every viable route into Varanasi, the one we recommend, and how it connects onward.

The recommended approach
For most Varanasi missions we route via Air, Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS), about 26 km from the ghats, has broad domestic service and select international flights; we manage the fleet handover. Arrival is timed against the October to March window and a recommended stay of 2 nights, so the first day absorbs travel fatigue without losing prime sightseeing hours. The chauffeur and vehicle are pre-positioned; there is no transfer scramble on arrival.
Onward continuity
Reaching Varanasi is rarely the end point, it is a node in the North India. The same GPS-tracked vehicle and chauffeur continue seamlessly into the wider circuit (All curated tours, Elite chauffeured fleet, Heritage dining wing), so there is no re-booking, no handover gap, and no renegotiating logistics mid-trip. Inter-leg permits and timing are handled before you travel.
Architecting How to Reach with MyTripMyTravel
Varanasi is operated as part of the wider North India, not in isolation. Whatever the how to reach decision, it is sequenced into a private, chauffeured, escorted itinerary, recommended stay 2 nights, with monument access, pacing, and contingency handled end to end. It connects naturally to All curated tours, Elite chauffeured fleet, Heritage dining wing, so this leg is one part of a coherent mission rather than a standalone booking. Every choice here is a starting architecture, refined to your party during planning.
