FAQs about Varanasi Airport to Vindhyachal taxis
Can I keep the cab for a full day of temple hopping?
Yes, day packages with fixed km and 8–10 hour duration are available. This is ideal if you want to explore temples plus nearby waterfalls like Lakhaniya Dari.
Are there buses from the airport to Vindhyachal?
Public buses connect Varanasi city to Mirzapur/Vindhyachal, but almost none start directly from the airport. You would have to haul luggage into the city first, which is tiring for pilgrims.
