Kolkata to Varanasi is a natural pilgrimage route — about 680 km, an easy overnight train or a short 1.5-hour flight to Kashi Vishwanath.
By train
Around 9–14 hours; convenient overnight trains make this one of the easier rail journeys to Varanasi.
By air
About 1 hour 25 minutes direct, with daily flights.
Overnight trains from Howrah/Sealdah are popular and let you arrive fresh in the morning, ideal for a same-day darshan. Flights suit shorter weekend trips.
Bengali pilgrims often combine Kashi with a boat ride at dawn — being 8 minutes from Dashashwamedh, we make the early start effortless.
Suggested plan
Train and flight timings vary by season and day — always confirm on IRCTC or with the airline before booking.
