Most full-day packages from reputable operators like www.kashitaxi.in/city-tours include:
Extra hours or kilometers beyond the package limit are charged separately.
A typical 8-hour tour can cover the Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Sankat Mochan Temple, Durga Temple, and Banaras Hindu University. An extended 12-hour tour allows you to comfortably include Sarnath, which is about 10 km away.
Due to the distance, Sarnath is usually included in the 12-hour/200 km package. If you book an 8-hour package, visiting Sarnath will likely incur extra charges for time and kilometers.
No, the taxi package only covers transportation. You will need to pay for any entrance fees to temples, museums, or historical sites separately.
It's best to book through a trusted local operator to ensure you get a well-maintained vehicle and an experienced driver. You can book a verified cab through www.kashitaxi.in/city-tours or by calling 99354 74730.
