Route

NH-56 via Jaunpur

200 km, 4–5 hours via NH-56 — the same corridor as the outbound Varanasi–Ayodhya route, reversed. Swift Dzire from ₹11/km, tempo traveller from ₹24/km. The natural next leg for pilgrims heading on to Kashi Vishwanath and the Ganga Aarti.

The Ayodhya to Varanasi road journey retraces the same 200 km corridor as the outbound Varanasi–Ayodhya route, in reverse — via NH-56 through Faizabad, Sultanpur, and Jaunpur, in 4–5 hours depending on traffic. It is the natural next leg for pilgrims who complete Ram Mandir darshan in Ayodhya and continue on to Varanasi for Kashi Vishwanath Temple and the evening Ganga Aarti at the ghats. Fares are per-km on the same fleet used on the outbound trip — Swift Dzire, Innova Crysta, tempo traveller, and Maharaja Urbania. One-way, round-trip, and combined Ayodhya + Prayagraj + Varanasi itineraries are all available.
