Varanasi railway station

Varanasi Junction (Cantt)

The main station, with Banaras and Kashi as smaller alternatives inside the city. An overnight train from Delhi is still the classic way in.

Bus from the neighbours

Only worth it over short distances: Delhi is 800 km away and the bus makes no sense. Lucknow, Prayagraj and Bodh Gaya are another matter.
