About This Trip

At 1,035 km and roughly 20 hrs 42 mins on the road, Haridwar to Varanasi [Benares] is a multi-day drive. Plan for an overnight halt partway to keep the journey safe and give your driver proper rest, rather than attempting to cover such a long distance in a single continuous stretch without any meaningful break along the route. Guruji Travels shows transparent per-km pricing in the fare table above, with tolls and permit charges itemized separately rather than added as a surprise later. For comfort across two days of driving, the Crysta is our top recommendation, with the Ertiga a solid choice for families. GPS-tracked cars are standard on every trip, for total safety.

It's also a comfortable option for families, senior citizens, or anyone carrying extra luggage, since you're not restricted to what you can carry on public transport. That said, if you're leaving from Haridwar during peak hours, factor in an extra 30-45 minutes to clear city traffic before you hit the highway.
