About this route
Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport is at Babatpur, about 22 km from central Varanasi and roughly 30 km from Sarnath. After a long flight the last thing a visitor needs is bargaining with a stranger outside the terminal. This is a fixed-arrangement private taxi with a waiting driver.
Common drops include hotels near the Cantonment, properties near Assi or Dashashwamedh Ghat, and stays in the Kashi Vishwanath corridor. If your hotel is in a narrow lane the driver will coordinate a sensible drop-off point and help with luggage.
