Delhi to Varanasi is 780–820 km by road — the longest major route in EZPZ Taxi's network. Drive time is 11–13 hours via the Yamuna Expressway and Purvanchal Expressway.
Best Route: Expressway All the Way
Delhi → Yamuna Expressway (Agra) → Agra-Lucknow Expressway → Purvanchal Expressway → Varanasi. This route is almost entirely expressway — fast, smooth, and well-lit for overnight driving.
| Segment | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi → Agra (Yamuna Exp) | 230 km | 3 hrs |
| Agra → Lucknow (A-L Exp) | 295 km | 3.5 hrs |
| Lucknow → Varanasi (Purvanchal Exp) | 295 km | 3.5 hrs |
| Total | ~820 km | ~11 hrs |
Stop in Agra En Route
Since you pass through Agra anyway, a 2-hour Taj Mahal stop makes perfect sense. Depart Delhi at 5 AM, visit the Taj (sunrise entry), back in the car by 9 AM, arrive Varanasi by 7 PM.
Varanasi — One of the World's Oldest Cities
The ghats of Varanasi are sacred to 1.2 billion Hindus. The Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat every evening is one of the most extraordinary experiences in India — hundreds of diyas, chanting priests, thousands of devotees.
