Best Travel Agency in Varanasi
The complete TAXIKASHI guide: full fleet, real per-km fares, every route, every package, and everything else you’d otherwise have to call five agencies to find out.
About TAXIKASHIVaranasi’s transparent-pricing travel agency, since 2015
TAXIKASHI, operated by RK Travels, has arranged taxis, Tempo Travellers and tour vehicles in Varanasi since 2015. The agency is based at UG-85, PCF Plaza, opposite Taj, in Varanasi Cantonment — a short drive from Varanasi Junction railway station.
The idea behind TAXIKASHI is simple: publish the price before the trip, not after. Every vehicle on this page — from a 4-seat sedan to a 49-seat luxury bus — has a fixed per-km rate, a listed driver allowance, and clearly stated extras (toll, parking, night charges). There’s no separate “tourist rate” negotiated on the day.
TAXIKASHI serves three kinds of trips: local Varanasi movement (ghats, temples, airport, railway station), single-day sightseeing (Kashi Darshan, Sarnath), and multi-day outstation pilgrimage circuits to Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Gaya, Chitrakoot, Vindhyachal and Naimisharanya.

Full Fleet & Real PricesEvery vehicle TAXIKASHI runs — 14 types, one price list
Luxury Maharaja Tempo Traveller
The Maharaja range (12, 15 and 19 seat, in 1×1 and 2×1 layouts) is TAXIKASHI’s premium group option — push-back seats, extra legroom, and captain-seat spacing instead of standard bench rows. Popular for family pilgrimage groups who want Tempo Traveller capacity without the basic-bus feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes TAXIKASHI the best travel agency in Varanasi?
Published, fixed per-km pricing across 14 vehicle types since 2015, direct booking with the same team you meet on pickup day, and local knowledge of ghat-side and old-city routes.
How is a travel agency different from a taxi service?
A taxi service gives you one vehicle, point to point. A travel agency also plans multi-day circuits, recommends the right vehicle for your group, and coordinates airport, railway and hotel logistics.
What is the cheapest way to book a taxi in Varanasi?
A sedan for 1–3 people. For 4–7 people, an Innova Crysta at ₹18/km usually costs less per head than two sedans.
Does TAXIKASHI cover pilgrimage tours outside Varanasi?
Yes — Ayodhya, Prayagraj, Gaya, Chitrakoot, Vindhyachal and Naimisharanya, with fixed fares in the route chart above.
Can I book a large group vehicle for a wedding?
Yes. See wedding car rental and wedding Tempo Traveller/bus packages.
How do I choose between Tempo Traveller and Innova Crysta?
Innova Crysta suits 4–7 travellers wanting car-level comfort. Tempo Traveller (11–20 seats) suits larger groups who want to stay in one vehicle. Full comparison: Tempo Traveller vs Innova Crysta.
What is the fare from Varanasi to Ayodhya?
Around ₹3,600 by Innova Crysta or ₹5,000 by 17-seater Tempo Traveller for the ~200 km route. Full fare page: Varanasi to Ayodhya Taxi Fare.
