TL;DR: Varanasi to Ayodhya tempo traveller starts from ₹9,400 one-way (₹10,800 same-day round trip) for a 12 seater and ₹10,200 one-way (₹12,400 round trip) for a 17 seater, with driver, fuel, and highway tolls included.
The road distance is about 200 km each way and most groups should allow 4–5 hours per side. A 5:00 AM pickup gives the best chance of completing Ram Mandir and Hanuman Garhi darshan before returning to Varanasi the same day.
If your group is planning Ram Mandir darshan from Varanasi and you need the group-vehicle price first, this is the right page. It is built for families, senior pilgrims, temple committees, and friend groups who want one vehicle, one fare, and one clear Ayodhya schedule.
