Distance

200 km

Travel Time

4 to 5 hours

Route

NH-56 via Jaunpur

200 km, 4–5 hours via NH-56 — the same corridor as the outbound Varanasi–Ayodhya route, reversed. Full trip from ₹6,500: our vehicles are based in Varanasi, so a pickup is billed like the round trip. The natural next leg for pilgrims heading on to Kashi Vishwanath and the Ganga Aarti.

The Ayodhya to Varanasi road journey retraces the same 200 km corridor as the outbound Varanasi–Ayodhya route, in reverse — via NH-56 through Faizabad, Sultanpur, and Jaunpur, in 4–5 hours depending on traffic. It is the natural next leg for pilgrims who complete Ram Mandir darshan in Ayodhya and continue on to Varanasi for Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the evening Ganga Aarti at the ghats. Fares are per-km on the same fleet used on the outbound trip — Swift Dzire, Innova Crysta, tempo traveller, and Maharaja Urbania. The vehicle comes from Varanasi, so the fare covers the full loop; combined Ayodhya + Prayagraj + Varanasi itineraries are all available.

* Fares exclude driver allowance, tolls, parking, and 5% GST. Round-trip rates assume single-day return.

Drop only, or ending in another city? Our vehicles are based in Varanasi, so the driver comes back empty and a drop costs the same as the round trip. Staying longer or adding stops is billed on the full loop back to Varanasi at the vehicle's per-km rate, with a 250 km/day minimum, plus driver allowance. That's why most groups make it a 2–3 day circuit. See the circuits.

Can I book an Ayodhya to Varanasi tempo traveller one-way?
Yes, a drop is fine, but it costs the same as the full trip: the vehicle comes from Varanasi and goes back empty. Better value: make it a 2–3 day circuit. Round-trip and multi-day combined itineraries (Ayodhya + Prayagraj + Varanasi) are all available. The tempo traveller is the most-booked vehicle for pilgrim groups making this return leg.
What can I see in Varanasi after arriving from Ayodhya?
Kashi Vishwanath Temple, the ghats along the Ganges, and the evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat are the highlights most pilgrims combine with this trip. Sarnath, 12 km from central Varanasi, is a popular half-day add-on.
Is the Ayodhya to Varanasi route the same as Varanasi to Ayodhya?
Yes — Ayodhya to Varanasi uses the identical NH-56 corridor via Jaunpur, just in the reverse direction. The distance and drive time are the same both ways.
