Varanasi Tour Packages from Bangalore

Bengaluru sits about 1,465 km from Varanasi, and a nonstop flight covers that in roughly two and a half hours. The distance is rarely what goes wrong on a Varanasi tour package from Bangalore. The mistakes happen around the edges: a late return flight, the wrong clothes, or a trip length that does not match the leave you have.

This page works through those decisions in the order you will face them. If you want to compare every route we run before you start, see all Varanasi tour packages.

Which Varanasi Tour Package from Bangalore Fits Your Leave?

Start with the days you can actually take off, then match a trip to them.

If you can only stretch a weekend, the 2N/3D Varanasi tour package from Bangalore is built for that. You fly in, see the evening Aarti, spend one full day on the boat, temple and Sarnath, and fly home on day three. It works best when your flights land before lunch and leave in the afternoon.

If you have four days and want Ram Mandir on the same trip, take the 3N/4D Varanasi Ayodhya tour package from Bangalore. It splits your nights between Kashi and Ayodhya, so each city gets an evening Aarti instead of a rushed visit.

If you are travelling with parents, children or anyone who tires on stone steps, the 5 Days Varanasi tour package from Bangalore gives the plan room to breathe. Open any trip page for the day plan and the current price.

Five Mistakes Bengaluru Travellers Make

Booking a tight return flight

The airport is about 25 km from the city centre, and old city traffic is slow. Keep three to four hours between your last stop and boarding. A late sunset Aarti on your last evening and a night flight rarely mix.

Packing for Bengaluru weather

Varanasi nights between December and January can fall to 5 to 10 degrees Celsius. Carry a shawl or light jacket even in October or March, because the river is cool at dawn.

Treating Ayodhya as a quick add-on

Varanasi and Ayodhya are a long road journey apart. Squeezing both into one day leaves you tired in both places. Our guide to the Varanasi to Ayodhya distance explains the drive before you commit.

Choosing the train to save money

A train from Bengaluru takes around two days each way. That only makes sense if you have a week or more. For a trip of three to five days, the nonstop flight protects your leave.

Booking flights after fixing dates

Fares and seats tighten around Dev Deepawali, which falls on Tuesday, 24 November 2026. Check flights first, then lock the package dates around the cheapest workable days.

The Flight Day, Hour by Hour

A nonstop from Bengaluru takes about 2 hours 20 to 30 minutes, and IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express all fly it. Schedules change, so confirm your date on the airline site. A typical arrival day runs like this:

• Early morning: board in Bengaluru
• Late morning: land in Varanasi and transfer to your hotel (see the airport taxi fare guide for cost)
• Afternoon: check in, eat and rest for an hour
• Evening: reach Dashashwamedh Ghat 30 to 45 minutes before the Aarti, with timing in our Ganga Aarti guide

Where the Money Goes

Think of the budget in three buckets. The package price covers the land portion of the trip. Your flights are the second bucket and the biggest variable, since fares rise around festivals. The third bucket is small items such as boat rides, temple entry, special darshan, extra meals and tips.

Ask for the inclusions in writing before you pay an advance, and check whether GST is listed as extra. Our Varanasi trip cost guide shows what a typical trip costs on the ground.

Choosing a Month, Judged From Bengaluru

October to March is the comfortable window, though the contrast with Bengaluru’s mild weather is sharpest from December to January. Dense fog in those months can delay flights, so avoid tight connections on the way back.

April to June crosses 40 degrees, so sightseeing moves to dawn and evening. The monsoon can pause boat rides when the river runs high. The best time to visit Varanasi guide has the month by month detail.

Travelling With Parents or Children

The old city lanes are narrow, and many ghat and temple steps are steep or uneven. For elderly parents, pick a longer plan, keep an afternoon rest after the sunrise boat, and watch the Aarti from the water instead of the crowded steps. A private vehicle also saves the walk to and from pickup points. For ideas beyond the main ghats, see places to visit in Varanasi.

Quick Answers Before You Book

How many days do I need from Bangalore?

Three days is the comfortable minimum. Add a fourth for Ayodhya or a fifth for a slower pace.

Are flights part of the package?

Only if the trip page says so. Confirm this when you enquire.

Do I need ID at the temple?

Yes. Carry a valid photo ID for Kashi Vishwanath Temple.

Should I carry cash?

Yes. Small shops and boatmen in the old city often do not take cards.
