Best Varanasi Airport to Dashashwamedh Ghat route

Exit the airport toward Ring Road, glide past the Harhua flyover, and follow Lahartara crossing to the Godowlia junction. Traffic marshals queue vehicles at the barricade and allow pre-booked cabs toward the Dashashwamedh slip road. When Lahartara is choked, reroute through Sigra and Luxa to merge near Godowlia. Evening Ganga Aarti rehearsals from 5 PM onward slow the last kilometre—flag the driver to detour via Maidagin if police divert traffic.
