    Varanasi to Ayodhya Taxi Fare — Vehicle-Wise Price List

    All-inclusive pricing — fuel, toll, and driver charges included. Reserve your date and the fare shown here is locked, not renegotiated on arrival.

    Vehicle Seats One-Way Taxi Fare Per Km Rate
    Swift Dzire / Honda Amaze 1–4 ₹2,800–₹3,200 ₹11/km
    Toyota Rumion / Ertiga 1–6 ₹3,500–₹4,000 ₹14/km
    Toyota Innova 1–7 ₹4,200–₹4,800 ₹16/km
    Toyota Innova Crysta 1–7 ₹4,800–₹5,400 ₹18/km
    12–17 Seater Tempo Traveller 8–17 ₹7,500–₹9,500 ₹25/km
    Force Urbania (16 Seater) 12–16 ₹9,000–₹11,000 ₹30/km
    All fares all-inclusive (fuel + toll + driver fee) · Night charges ₹300 after 9 PM · Full rate list: see rental taxi rates →

    A one-way booking means your cab takes you to Ayodhya and the driver returns to Varanasi alone — you’re only charged the one-way distance. Travelling the other direction instead? See the Ayodhya to Varanasi return cab section below — same fleet, same fare structure.

    Ayodhya to Varanasi Cab — Return & Reverse Route Booking

    Not everyone starts this trip from Varanasi. If you’ve flown into Ayodhya, arrived by train, or are travelling with another operator one way, here’s how the return leg works.

    An Ayodhya to Varanasi cab runs on the identical route, fare, and vehicle options as the outbound trip — NH-27 to the Jaunpur bypass, then NH-31 into Varanasi, 200 km in 3.5 to 4.5 hours. The Ayodhya to Varanasi taxi fare starts at the same ₹2,800 for a Swift Dzire, all-inclusive. Two common reasons people book this direction specifically:

    • ✈️ Flying into Maryada Purushottam Shriram International Airport (Ayodhya) and continuing on to Varanasi for a flight, train, or the Kashi Vishwanath–Ganga Aarti leg of the trip
    • 🚆 Catching a train from Varanasi Junction or Banaras Cantt after finishing Ram Mandir darshan — book the cab timed to your train, not the other way around
    Vehicle Seats Ayodhya → Varanasi Fare Per Km Rate
    Swift Dzire / Honda Amaze 1–4 ₹2,800–₹3,200 ₹11/km
    Toyota Rumion / Ertiga 1–6 ₹3,500–₹4,000 ₹14/km
    Toyota Innova Crysta 1–7 ₹4,800–₹5,400 ₹18/km
    12–17 Seater Tempo Traveller 8–17 ₹7,500–₹9,500 ₹25/km
    Same all-inclusive pricing as the outbound trip. Booking from Ayodhya? WhatsApp your pickup point in Ayodhya (hotel, Naya Ghat parking, or the airport) and travel date.

    Booking from Ayodhya, away from your usual pickup point? Call +91-77539-13900 — we coordinate the driver’s positioning in Ayodhya the same way we do in Varanasi, so there’s no wait at pickup.

    Varanasi to Ayodhya Cab Advance Booking — Why It Beats Booking on Arrival

    If you’re comparing advance reservation against just arranging a cab once you land, here’s the honest difference.

    Factor Booking on Arrival / Same-Day Advance Booking (7-10 days ahead)
    Vehicle availability Subject to whichever car is free that morning Your exact vehicle type is reserved and confirmed
    Price Peak-season and festival surcharges more likely Fixed fare locked at the time of booking
    Driver briefing Driver may not know your specific darshan plan Driver briefed on your pickup time, VIP pass needs, group size
    VIP darshan pass Usually not possible — needs 15 days notice Can be arranged alongside your cab booking
    Peace of mind Arranging logistics after you’ve already arrived Everything settled before you even leave home

    We do still take same-day requests when a vehicle is available — call and ask. But if your trip is planned even a few days out, reserving in advance is the difference between a confirmed, briefed driver and a best-effort scramble.

    Distance, Drive Time & Route Overview

    Route Detail Information
    Total Distance 200 km (approx.) via NH-31 Jaunpur bypass · 218 km via Jaunpur city
    Drive Time 3.5 to 4.5 hours (depending on traffic and season)
    Route Varanasi → NH-31 → Jaunpur Bypass → NH-27 → Ayodhya (Ram Mandir)
    Toll Charges ₹215 sedan / ₹345 SUV at Jaunpur plaza (included in our fares)
    Recommended Start Time 6:00–7:00 AM for Ram Mandir darshan before afternoon queues

    NH-31 Jaunpur Bypass vs the Sultanpur Route

    The Jaunpur bypass on NH-31/NH-27 is faster and what we use by default — 200 km, 3.5-4.5 hours. An alternate route via Sultanpur adds 20-25 km but avoids Jaunpur city traffic on market days and festival weekends. Mention a preference when you book; otherwise our drivers default to whichever route is faster that day based on live traffic.

    For the full turn-by-turn route breakdown, pickup-point-wise distances, and month-by-month travel conditions, see our detailed guide: Varanasi to Ayodhya by Road — Complete Route Guide. Once you’ve picked your travel date, come back here to lock your cab.

    Same-Day Round Trip Taxi Fare — Varanasi to Ayodhya and Back

    Cheaper per km than two separate one-way bookings. The driver waits for you (typically 4–6 hours) at no extra waiting charge.

    Vehicle Seats Round Trip (Same Day) With Overnight Stay
    Swift Dzire / Honda Amaze 1–4 ₹4,800–₹5,400 ₹3,500–₹4,200

    Train or Pre-Booked Cab — An Honest Comparison

    For groups of two or more travelling together, a pre-booked cab often costs about the same per head as an AC train ticket once you add the auto-rickshaw from Ayodhya Junction (5 km from Ram Mandir) — but the cab drops you 800 metres from the temple gate, at a time you choose, with no station transfer.

    Factor Train Pre-Booked Cab
    Cost (group of 4) ₹150–₹600 per person ₹2,800+ total (≈₹700/person)
    Booking window Tatkal/limited seats — book weeks ahead Reserve any date, 24-48 hrs minimum
    Drop point Ayodhya Junction — 5 km from Ram Mandir Naya Ghat parking — 800m from temple gate
    Return flexibility Fixed train time Leave when your darshan finishes
    For elderly / children Station stairs, crowds, transfers Door-to-door, no transfers

    Should You Stay Overnight in Ayodhya?

    A same-day return works well for most pilgrims. An overnight stay — arranged as part of your booking — makes sense if:

    • 🗓 Travelling on a weekend or festival — queue savings alone justify the hotel cost
    • 🌅 You want the Saryu River evening aarti — held daily at 7:00 PM
    • 👴 You’re travelling with elderly family — breaking the journey is kinder; we arrange the return cab for the next morning

    Budget stays near Ram Mandir: Dharamshalas and guesthouses near Naya Ghat cost ₹800–₹1,500 per night. Mention this when you reserve and we’ll recommend verified options and coordinate the return cab as part of the same booking.

    Cab to Maryada Purushottam Shriram International Airport, Ayodhya

    If your Ayodhya trip involves a flight from the new Maryada Purushottam Shriram International Airport (IATA: AYJ), we provide direct service — either direction — from any hotel, railway station, or ghat in Varanasi, timed to your flight.

    Call +91-77539-13900 to reserve your airport cab with a pickup time coordinated to your flight schedule.

    Why Book With Us Instead of a Booking App

    For a generic city cab, an app is fine. For a pilgrimage trip you’ve planned around — where timing matters and your family is depending on it — booking directly with a local operator who answers the phone matters more.

    Many operators on this route are booking brokers: they take your reservation, then pass it to whichever driver and vehicle happens to be free that day. You often don’t know who’s actually driving until the morning of. We confirm your specific vehicle and driver at the time you book, not the day of.

    • 📍 Local knowledge: Our drivers know Ram Mandir’s parking zones and every darshan point in Ayodhya
    • 💰 Fixed fares: Toll, fuel, driver fee — all in. Quoted price = final price
    • 🗓 Reservation confirmed in advance: Vehicle and driver locked at booking, not the morning of
    • 🎫 VIP darshan planning: Ram Mandir VIP passes (₹300/person) arranged with 15-day advance notice
    • 🚗 Verified drivers: Valid documents, commercial permits, route experience
    • 🔄 Free rescheduling: Plans change — rearrange with 24 hr notice, no charge

    Best Time to Plan Your Ayodhya Trip — Month by Month

    🌟 October to March — Best Season

    10°C–26°C, excellent highway conditions. Dev Deepawali (November), Makar Sankranti (January), Vasant Panchami (Jan/Feb) make this the peak pilgrimage calendar. Reserve 2–3 weeks ahead for festival dates — vehicles book out early.

    🌸 March–April — Ram Navami Season

    Ayodhya’s biggest festival — book at least 3–4 weeks ahead. Add 1.5 hours to arrival-to-darshan estimates. Temperatures climb (28°C–36°C).

    ☀️ May–September — Off-Season

    Fares typically run 20–30% lower and availability is easier — a good window if you’re flexible on dates. Depart before 7 AM to avoid the day’s heat.

    Frequently Asked Questions — Varanasi to Ayodhya Cab Booking

    Answers to what travellers ask before reserving their cab.

    How much is a taxi from Varanasi to Ayodhya?

    One-way fare: ₹2,800–₹3,200 for Swift Dzire (4 seats), ₹3,500–₹4,000 for Ertiga (6 seats), ₹4,800–₹5,400 for Innova Crysta (7 seats). All fares include fuel, toll, and driver fee. No charges added at journey end.

    Is there a cab from Ayodhya to Varanasi, not just Varanasi to Ayodhya?

    Yes. The Ayodhya to Varanasi cab runs the same route, fleet, and fare as the outbound trip, starting at ₹2,800 for a Swift Dzire. This is common for travellers flying into Ayodhya’s airport or arriving by train and continuing on to Varanasi.

    How far in advance should I book a Varanasi to Ayodhya cab?

    For normal travel dates, 24-48 hours’ notice is enough to confirm a vehicle. During Ram Navami, Diwali, Kartik Purnima, and weekends, we recommend booking 7-10 days ahead — vehicles for this route sell out during peak pilgrimage season.

    What is the distance from Varanasi to Ayodhya by road?

    200 km via the NH-31 Jaunpur bypass (the fastest route), or 218 km via Jaunpur city. Drive time is 3.5 to 4.5 hours under normal conditions. During festivals, add 60-90 minutes for Ayodhya approach traffic.

    Can I book a cab from Banaras (Kashi) to Ayodhya?

    Banaras, Kashi, and Varanasi are the same city. Booking is identical — we pick up from any hotel, ghat, or railway station across the city. Call +91-77539-13900 to reserve.

    What does a Varanasi Ayodhya tour package include?

    Our packages bundle the cab with hotel, a local guide, and darshan planning. The 1N/2D Ayodhya Darshan Package starts at ₹5,499/person; the 3N/4D Varanasi Prayagraj Ayodhya circuit, which adds Triveni Sangam, starts at ₹9,999/person. Both can include VIP darshan pass arrangement.

    What is the best time to leave Varanasi for Ram Mandir darshan?

    Depart by 6:00-7:00 AM to reach Ram Mandir by 10:00-11:00 AM, before afternoon queues. On weekends, depart by 5:00 AM. During Ram Navami week, plan for 5-8 hours of queue time or arrange VIP darshan passes in advance (₹300/person, 15 days notice).

    Can I book a one-way cab from Varanasi to Ayodhya?

    Yes — one-way booking is standard. Your cab takes you to Ayodhya and the driver returns to Varanasi alone; you’re only charged the one-way distance. A return cab on a different day can be arranged as part of the same reservation.

    Which is the best vehicle for a family Ram Mandir trip?

    The Toyota Innova Crysta is best for families with senior citizens — more space and a smoother ride. The Swift Dzire suits couples and small groups. All drivers know Ram Mandir’s vehicle entry rules and use the parking point that minimises your walk to the temple.

    Is toll tax included in the fare?

    Yes. The toll at Jaunpur plaza (₹215 sedan, ₹345 SUV/Innova) is included in every quoted fare. No additional payment is needed at the toll or at journey end.

    Can I return to Varanasi on the same day?

    Yes, same-day round trip is popular and includes 4-6 hours of waiting time in Ayodhya at no extra charge — enough for Ram Mandir, Hanuman Garhi, and Kanak Bhawan.

    How do I book a cab from Varanasi to Ayodhya?

    Call or WhatsApp +91-77539-13900 with your travel date, passenger count, and preferred vehicle. We send a final price within 2 hours. Pay 20% advance to lock the booking; driver details arrive 24 hours before your trip. No app needed.

    How long does the journey take by cab?

    3.5 to 4.5 hours on NH-31 and NH-27. Leaving by 6:00-7:00 AM from Varanasi gets you there before the 11 AM afternoon crowds. Festival periods add 60-90 minutes.

    What is the Innova fare from Varanasi to Ayodhya?

    A Toyota Innova one-way is ₹4,200–₹4,800; the Innova Crysta, with more legroom and captain seats, is ₹4,800–₹5,400. Both include toll, fuel, and driver fee.

    Do you provide a Tempo Traveller for Varanasi to Ayodhya group travel?

    Yes, 12 to 17-seater Tempo Travellers run this route at ₹7,500–₹9,500 one-way, commonly booked by religious groups and family yatras. A 16-seater Force Urbania is also available from ₹9,000–₹11,000.

    Are there any hidden charges?

    No. The quoted fare includes fuel, toll, and driver fee for day travel. The only extras are night charges (₹300 for trips starting after 9 PM) and e-rickshaw fares within Ayodhya’s no-vehicle zones (₹20-40 per person). Both are explained before you book.

    Can I reschedule or cancel a booking I made in advance?

    Yes. Free rescheduling with 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations 48+ hours ahead get a full advance refund; 24-48 hours gets 50% back; under 24 hours the advance is non-refundable. Call us directly — we handle this personally.

    What is the best route from Varanasi to Ayodhya?

    NH-31 from Varanasi through the Jaunpur bypass, then NH-27 into Ayodhya — about 200 km. An alternate route via Sultanpur adds 20-25 km but avoids Jaunpur city traffic on busy days.

    Can I arrange VIP darshan at Ram Mandir when I book my cab?

    Yes, with 15 days’ advance notice. VIP passes (₹300/person) cut waiting time from 30-90 minutes to 15-30 minutes. Provide names and ages of your group when you reserve your cab and we handle the arrangement.

    Is this route safe and comfortable for senior citizens?

    Yes. NH-31 and NH-27 are well-maintained four-lane highways with regular fuel stops and restrooms. For senior citizens, we recommend the Innova Crysta for room and ride comfort, and an early 6-7 AM departure to avoid traffic.
