Delhi to Varanasi is 780–820 km via the Agra–Lucknow Expressway and Purvanchal Expressway — one of the longest routes EZPZ Taxi covers. Drive time is 11–13 hours, so most travellers depart very early (4–5 AM) or do an overnight drive.

Best Route: Delhi → Varanasi

Stops recommended: Agra (Taj Mahal, 2.5 hrs from Delhi), then continue to Varanasi. This makes the long drive worthwhile.
