Pickup anywhere in Varanasi
We collect from hotels, homes, dharamshalas and ashrams across the city: Cantonment and Nadesar, Godowlia and Dashashwamedh, Assi and Lanka near BHU, Sigra, Mahmoorganj and Sarnath, as well as Varanasi Junction and Banaras railway stations and the airport at Babatpur.
For Kashi Vishwanath the tempo traveller stops at Godowlia. No vehicle of any size goes closer; from there it is about ten minutes on foot through the lanes.
Our own tempo travellers, since 1993
Varanasi On Wheels has run its own vehicles from Varanasi since 1993. Of the 50-plus vehicles in the fleet, 20 to 30 are tempo travellers in 12, 17, 20 and 26-seat layouts, which is why we can quote a rate card rather than whatever a broker finds that day. Our office is at Shop 1, Mint House, Nadesar Cantt, Varanasi 221002.
On the few nights the whole fleet is booked — Dev Deepawali, the peak of the wedding season — extra tempo travellers come from partners we have worked with for years. We tell you before you pay, never on the morning of the trip.
A tempo traveller for every kind of group trip
Most of our tempo traveller bookings are one of these. Each page has its own fares and timings.
How booking works

Why pilgrims trust Varanasi On Wheels
Search ‘tempo traveller in Varanasi’ and you’ll mostly find brokers — middlemen who take your booking and hand it to whichever vehicle is free. We are the other kind: Varanasi On Wheels runs its own fleet from Varanasi since 1993, so the coach, the driver and the responsibility are all ours.
That shows up in the details. Our drivers know the darshan timings at Kashi Vishwanath, the parking lanes at Sarnath, and the highway stops that work for elderly travellers on the Ayodhya route. The vehicle that arrives is the one you booked — cleaned, fuelled and on time.
And the maths is simple: one per-km rate from ₹23/km, with driver allowance, tolls and parking itemised on the quote rather than hidden inside it. Compare any quote against ours line by line — that's how most of our customers become repeat customers.
What travellers tell us
We hired a Tempo Traveller for our family pilgrimage covering Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj. The vehicle was brand new and very comfortable for our 11 family members across 3 generations. Driver was patient with the elders and helped with wheelchairs at temple gates.
Booked the 17-seater for a college batch trip. Clean vehicle, on-time pickup and the per-km billing matched the quote exactly. No last-minute additions — that honesty is rare.
