How the Lucknow to Varanasi Fare Works

Outstation fares from Lucknow are charged on the kilometres the car actually runs, so the price is simple to check at the end of the trip.

• Per km rate - the rate for your car, as shown in the table above.
• Minimum 250 km per day - the usual Lucknow to Varanasi drive is longer than this, so on a normal trip you pay for the real distance.
• Driver allowance - ₹250 per day for a sedan or Ertiga, and ₹300 per day for an Innova Crysta.
• Return trip only - one-way drops are not available on this route. The same car and driver bring you back to Lucknow.
• Toll, parking and state tax - paid at actual, on top of the per-km rate and driver allowance. The driver keeps the receipts.
• No hidden charges - what we confirm on WhatsApp or the phone is what you pay.

Lucknow to Varanasi Distance by Road

The Lucknow to Varanasi distance is about 300 km. Where you start in Lucknow moves it by a few kilometres, so we checked the common pickup points on Google Maps to the Dashashwamedh Ghat area in Varanasi.

Distances from Google Maps (September 2026) on the Lucknow to Varanasi road (NH731) to the Dashashwamedh Ghat area, rounded to the nearest kilometre. Actual running distance varies a little with the route the driver takes on the day.

How Long Does the Lucknow to Varanasi Cab Take?

Plan on about 5 to 6 hours each way, including a short tea and food break. The highway stretch moves well, and most of the extra time goes in getting out of Lucknow city traffic and in the last few kilometres into Varanasi, where the roads near the ghats are narrow and busy.

If you want to reach Varanasi in time for the evening Ganga aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat, leave Lucknow by late morning. The aarti starts soon after sunset, and the good viewing spots fill up well before it begins.

Lucknow to Varanasi via Ayodhya in One Trip

Many families going to Kashi like to take Ram Mandir darshan on the way. Ayodhya sits almost on the way from Lucknow, so adding it costs only about 60 km more than the direct drive, and one car and one driver stay with you for the whole journey.

A trip with Ayodhya on the way is usually planned over two days, with a night in Ayodhya or Varanasi, and it is quoted on call. For a shorter trip, see our Lucknow to Ayodhya cab. Travellers already in Kashi can book our Varanasi to Ayodhya cab.

Lucknow Airport to Varanasi Cab

Chaudhary Charan Singh Airport in Lucknow is about 304 km from Varanasi. If you land in Lucknow and want to go straight to Kashi, the driver meets you at the arrival gate, so you do not need to arrange a separate ride into the city first. Share your flight number when you book and we track the landing time, so a late flight is not a problem.

What to See in Varanasi

Most people make this drive for darshan and the ghats. The main places sit close together, so it helps to plan the order before you reach.

• Kashi Vishwanath Temple - the main darshan. Early morning or late afternoon is usually calmer than the middle of the day. Phones are restricted in the temple area, so carry as little as you can.
• Dashashwamedh Ghat - the evening Ganga aarti. Reach well before sunset for a good spot.
• Assi Ghat - quieter than Dashashwamedh, and easier with elders.
• Sarnath - about 10 km from the city, where the Buddha gave his first sermon. It fits well into the first or last half day of the trip.
• Kaal Bhairav Temple - traditionally visited along with Kashi Vishwanath.
