Varanasi airport to city

Lal Bahadur Shastri airport (VNS)

Babatpur sits 25 km out and the road takes longer than the distance suggests. Flights come from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Kathmandu.

Best option

The old city is walk-only: cars are stopped 1–1.5 km from the ghats and your luggage goes the rest of the way with you.
