Best Varanasi Airport to Varanasi Junction route
Exit VNS onto Ring Road, cruise past the Harhua flyover, and merge toward Sarnath crossing before turning onto Cantt Road. This route keeps you on wider corridors and bypasses old-city congestion. When Cantt Road is choked by arrivals, drivers detour via Maldahiya to reach the station from the Lahurabir side. Factor a brief slowdown at the entrance security gate when multiple trains arrive together.
Catching your train? Buffer times explained
Varanasi Junction’s station code is BSB, and it handles high-frequency departures such as Shiv Ganga Express, Kashi Vishwanath Express, and New Delhi-bound Vande Bharat. Align your airport landing with these buffer rules so the ₹690 flash drop genuinely protects your connection:
- Flight landing to train departure: keep at least 2 hours between touchdown and train ETD; add 30 minutes in monsoon or fog season.
- Platform change alerts: send your live train status to the dispatcher so the driver can stop closer to Platforms 7/8 via the VIP gate when needed.
- Porter coordination: request a coolie at least 15 minutes before arrival; our crew books them using your PNR to skip last-minute chaos.
BSB train connection table: when to leave the airport
| Train departure window (BSB) | Latest safe flight landing at VNS | Leave airport by | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 04:00–07:30 (Shiv Ganga, Kashi Vishwanath) | 01:30 | 02:00 | Night traffic is free-flowing; we pre-arrange Platform 1 porter |
| 10:00–15:00 (Daytime superfast) | 07:30 | 08:00 | School rush adds 10 minutes near Cantt Road—use Ring Road fast track |
| 17:00–22:30 (Vande Bharat, Poorva Express) | 14:00 | 15:00 | Godowlia and Maldahiya clog up; sedan takes Cantt parade route |
| After 22:30 (Late-night specials) | 19:30 | 20:00 | Night curfew checkpoints reopen; allow buffer for ID verifications |
If your inbound flight lands later than the “safe” window, call dispatch while still airborne so the control room can suggest alternate trains or arrange bedroll delivery in case you miss the connection.
