Varanasi to Delhi Bus Travel Guide

A Varanasi to Delhi bus can finish on the eastern side of the Yamuna, a short walk from Akshardham. That drop suits stays in East Delhi or Noida and puts a major temple complex within reach on arrival day. Kashmere Gate ISBT is the second Delhi drop, for onward travel across the north and centre of the city.

Departing from Varanasi for Delhi

Boarding in Varanasi happens away from the crowded ghats, at Jio Petrol Pump Bhullanpur on the western side and at Sarnath to the north. The right choice depends on where you are staying, since reaching either point from the old city lanes takes planning before the Varanasi to Delhi bus departs.

Local Transport to Varanasi Bus Boarding Points

Autos and e-rickshaws are the main way to reach both boarding points, as Varanasi has no metro. Vehicles often cannot enter the lanes around Godowlia, so the first part of the trip may be on foot.

  • Jio Petrol Pump Bhullanpur: This western point, near the BLW area, suits stays around Cantt station and BHU.
  • Sarnath: The New Sarnath Gallery stop near Streats is convenient for stays in Sarnath or after visiting it.
  • From the Ghats: Walk out of the lanes to a road point before taking an auto to Bhullanpur.
  • From Varanasi Junction: The Cantt station area is closer to Bhullanpur than to the ghats, saving time with bags.
  • Festival Days: Road closures around Godowlia during festivals can lengthen the trip to either boarding point considerably.

Agree the auto fare and the exact landmark before starting, as both points are roadside stops rather than terminals. Evening traffic near the old city can be slow, so leaving well ahead of the reporting time keeps the departure calm.

Arriving in Delhi

The Varanasi to Delhi bus lists two Delhi drops. Akshardham near Tandoori Zaika suits East Delhi, Noida and anyone planning a temple visit, while Kashmere Gate ISBT connects to three metro lines for North, Old and central Delhi.

  • Akshardham Near Tandoori Zaika: The drop is near Akshardham station on the Blue Line, towards Noida and central Delhi.
  • Kashmere Gate ISBT: The listed point is zingbus Counter No. 28, off government platforms, through metro Gates 7 and 8.
  • Blue Line Connections: From Akshardham, trains run east towards Noida and west across the Yamuna to central Delhi.
  • Violet Line Connections: From Kashmere Gate, trains run south through Lal Qila and Khan Market to JLN Stadium.

The Akshardham temple website places the metro station about 350 m from the temple. Hotels in East Delhi or Noida are usually a short metro or auto ride away. Hotels set their own check-in times, so plan breakfast and a rest stop first.

Top Places to Visit in Delhi

The eastern drop makes Akshardham a natural first stop, while Humayun’s Tomb and Sunder Nursery sit together south of the centre. Grouping the day by area avoids crossing the city twice in heavy traffic.

  • Swaminarayan Akshardham: The carved stone mandir is free to enter, with paid exhibitions and an evening water show.
  • Humayun’s Tomb: This Mughal garden tomb is open daily from sunrise to sunset, near JLN Stadium metro.
  • Sunder Nursery: The heritage park beside Humayun’s Tomb has restored monuments, lawns and shaded walking paths.
  • Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah: The Sufi shrine near Humayun’s Tomb is known for its evening qawwali gatherings.

Things to Do in Delhi After Your Bus Journey

Arriving from Varanasi, a day of shorter outings near your hotel works better than crossing the city repeatedly. Delhi’s metro makes it easy to combine a temple visit, a garden walk and a meal without long road transfers.

  • Akshardham Exhibitions: Paid halls use sculpture and film to present Indian culture and the Swaminarayan tradition.
  • Water Show: The evening show at Akshardham currently begins at 7:30 PM and needs a separate ticket.
  • Garden Walk: Sunder Nursery’s paths and lawns suit a slow afternoon walk after a long bus journey.
  • Metro Ride: The Blue Line crosses the Yamuna, giving a view of the river before central Delhi.
  • Street Food Stop: Chole bhature or aloo tikki chaat makes a filling Delhi lunch between visits.

A Practical First Day in Delhi

After the Varanasi to Delhi bus reaches the Akshardham drop, have breakfast and rest before sightseeing. Akshardham opens for entry at 10 AM, so the first hours can go to checking in or leaving bags where your hotel allows.

Akshardham deserves a long visit, with time for the mandir and the exhibitions. Phones and cameras are not allowed inside, and a free cloakroom holds them. Last entry is at 6:30 PM, and the complex stays closed every Monday.

Stay on for the 7:30 PM water show, then take the Blue Line back to your hotel. On a Monday, swap the plan for Humayun’s Tomb and Sunder Nursery, reached on the Violet Line from Kashmere Gate or by changing lines from the Blue Line.

Delhi Local Transport Costs and Sightseeing Budget

For one adult following the Akshardham plan, ₹1320 covers exhibitions, the water show, local travel and meals. The exhibition and show charges are the temple’s published rates, while transport and food are planning allowances. Hotel costs and the bus ticket are not included.

ExpenseCost or planning allowance
Akshardham mandir entryFree
Akshardham exhibitions₹260 per adult, published rate
Water show₹110 per adult, published rate
Metro and short auto rides₹200 per person as a daily planning allowance
Breakfast, lunch and dinner₹600 per person as a daily planning allowance
Tea, snacks and water₹150 per person as a daily planning allowance
Sample day for one adult₹1320, excluding shopping and souvenirs

Children aged 4 to 11 pay ₹160 for the exhibitions and ₹80 for the water show, while senior citizens pay ₹210 for the exhibitions. A family of two adults and one child would therefore pay ₹980 in exhibition and show tickets before food and travel.

Delhi Metro weekday fares range from ₹11 to ₹64 depending on distance, with lower Sunday fares. The Monday alternative changes the budget: Humayun’s Tomb and Sunder Nursery have their own entry fees, which replace the Akshardham charges.

Note: Published rates may change; transport and food figures are planning allowances only.

Famous Foods to Try in Delhi

Delhi’s food draws on Punjabi, Mughlai and street traditions, and most neighbourhoods have a chaat stall within easy reach. A filling lunch and a light evening snack fit well around a full temple visit.

  • Chole Bhature: Spiced chickpeas served with large fried breads, a heavy but popular late-morning meal.
  • Aloo Tikki Chaat: Crisp potato patties topped with chutneys, curd and spices, sold at most chaat stalls.
  • Dahi Bhalla: Soft lentil dumplings soaked in chilled curd and finished with sweet and tangy chutneys.
  • Rajma Chawal: Kidney beans cooked in a thick tomato gravy and served with rice for an easy lunch.
  • Kulfi: A dense frozen milk dessert flavoured with cardamom, pistachio or mango, served on a stick.

Best Time to Travel from Varanasi to Delhi

October to March offers the most comfortable weather for sightseeing in Delhi, though winter brings fog and poor air quality. Heat and monsoon rain shape plans for the rest of the year.

  • October and November: Pleasant days, but smog can build from late October, affecting outdoor plans.
  • December and January: Cold mornings and dense fog can delay road arrivals, so keep the first morning flexible.
  • February and March: Mild weather suits long garden walks at Sunder Nursery and Humayun’s Tomb.
  • April to June: Peak heat makes indoor exhibitions and early or late outdoor visits more comfortable.
  • July to September: Monsoon rain can cause waterlogging and slow traffic between the drop and your hotel.

Safety Measures by zingbus on Varanasi to Delhi Bus Journey

The Varanasi to Delhi bus covers a long road journey across Uttar Pradesh. zingbus keeps three core measures in place to support passengers from boarding to arrival.

  • Two-Driver Policy: zingbus rotates drivers on routes longer than six hours, which includes this journey to Delhi.
  • zingbus Marshal: The marshal helps passengers find seats and acts as the onboard contact for concerns.
  • Emergency Exits: Note the nearest marked exit when you board, and follow crew instructions if an emergency arises.

At Bhullanpur and Sarnath, wait for the coach away from passing traffic. In Delhi, the Akshardham drop is a roadside stop, so collect your bags and move to the footpath before arranging onward travel. Winter fog can delay arrival, so keep hotel and work plans flexible.

Plan Your Varanasi to Delhi Bus Journey

Choosing the Akshardham drop on a Varanasi to Delhi bus turns arrival day into a temple visit followed by the evening water show. For your next trip east, the Delhi to Varanasi bus reaches Sarnath and Jio Petrol Pump Bhullanpur.
