One Way Cab from Delhi to Sarnath
Travelling from Delhi to Sarnath? It's roughly 800 km and around 13-15 hours (overnight) via NH-19 via Varanasi. Most Sarnath trips take in Top attractions of Sarnath and Local cuisine of Sarnath. Fares are fixed and all-inclusive — no surge, no hidden charges.
The Delhi to Sarnath one-way cab is a very long eastern journey of about 800 km to Sarnath, just outside Varanasi, the deer park where the Buddha delivered his first sermon after enlightenment and set in motion the wheel of dharma. Its centrepiece is the great Dhamek Stupa, alongside the ruins of ancient monasteries and the excellent Sarnath Archaeological Museum. At Triveni Cabs we run this leg for Buddhist pilgrims, culture travellers, and anyone pairing Sarnath with a Varanasi visit, who want a private car for the door-to-door convenience. The route runs east on NH-19 and expressway stretches via Kanpur toward Varanasi, and at 800 km this is honestly a long journey of 13-15 hours, usually done overnight or with an early start.
At 800 km this is a genuine long-distance one-way billed on actual kilometres. Our one-way Sedan is ₹8,800, calculated at ₹11/km, the Ertiga SUV is ₹12,000, and the Innova Crysta is ₹14,400. Toll and parking are extra at actual, and the driver's night halt and food allowance apply on a journey of this length — we confirm the exact inclusions when you book. There is no return charge on a one-way drop.
We pick up from anywhere in Delhi with doorstep service and flight tracking, and drop at Sarnath or your hotel in Varanasi, or continue onward to Bodhgaya on a Buddhist-circuit trip. Given the distance, an Innova Crysta is the most comfortable choice. Every vehicle is well maintained, FASTag-enabled and driven by a verified driver experienced on long routes. Call or WhatsApp 7668570551 for a confirmed upfront fare.
