About this route
Varanasi has hundreds of temples, but a practical one-day darshan covers the five most important ones: Kashi Vishwanath (the jyotirlinga), Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple, Durga Temple (Durga Kund), Tulsi Manas Mandir, and the New Vishwanath Temple inside BHU campus.
The challenge isn't distance. It's parking, lane access and sequence. Old city temples like Kashi Vishwanath sit in narrow lanes where vehicles can't enter, so the driver drops you at the closest motorable point, waits, and picks you up after darshan. We plan the route so you move south-to-north (or reverse) without doubling back through traffic.
Planning notes
- 01Start early, 6 am if possible, to reach Kashi Vishwanath before the main queue builds. Morning darshan is quieter.
- 02Kashi Vishwanath requires walking through the corridor from the nearest vehicle drop point (a 10–15 min walk). Leave heavy bags in the vehicle.
- 03Durga Temple and Tulsi Manas Mandir are next to each other near Durga Kund, so combine them in one stop.
- 04BHU's New Vishwanath Temple is campus-entry controlled. The driver drops you at the gate; campus is walkable and shaded.
- 05For elderly travellers we pace the schedule with breaks for chai and rest, and the driver stays close to minimise walking distances.
Practical answers
Common questions for this route.
We typically recommend: Kashi Vishwanath early morning → Sankat Mochan → Durga Temple + Tulsi Manas (combined stop) → BHU New Vishwanath → evening aarti at Dashashwamedh. This avoids criss-crossing the city.
