Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What places can I cover in a one-day Varanasi tour?
A typical 8-hour tour can cover the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Sankat Mochan Temple, Durga Temple, and Banaras Hindu University. An extended 12-hour tour allows you to comfortably include Sarnath, which is about 10 km away.
2. Is Sarnath included in the standard day tour package?
Due to the distance, Sarnath is usually included in the 12-hour/200 km package. If you book an 8-hour package, visiting Sarnath will likely incur extra charges for time and kilometers.
3. Are entrance fees for temples and monuments included?
No, the taxi package only covers transportation. You will need to pay for any entrance fees to temples, museums, or historical sites separately.
4. How do I book a reliable cab for a day tour?
It's best to book through a trusted local operator to ensure you get a well-maintained vehicle and an experienced driver. You can book a verified cab through www.kashitaxi.in/city-tours or by calling 80621 79267.
