Transport & Commuting
Getting around from Kallipur
Exceptionally Connected
Rail and road • NO METRO, ropeway under construction • Varanasi Junction • Airport 25 km
Local Train
Varanasi Junction (Cantt) is the main station, with Banaras (Manduadih) and Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Junction carrying much of the through traffic.
Metro
Varanasi has NO METRO. The metro plan was shelved in 2018 - the old city has no room for it - and the KASHI ROPEWAY was taken up instead: five stations from Varanasi Cantt to Godowlia, India’s first urban public-transport ropeway. It is UNDER CONSTRUCTION with trial runs completed, and has been slowed by litigation over the Godowlia station. CHECK CURRENT STATUS.
Airport
Varanasi Airport about 20 km — around 48 minutes at peak.
Roads
The EM Bypass, VIP Road, Diamond Harbour Road and Barrackpore Trunk Road form the arterial network, with Chowringhee through the centre.
