Dehradun to Varanasi has no non-stop, so you connect — the standard hub is Delhi (DEL). IndiGo runs the most options and sells DED'Delhi'Varanasi on one ticket; Air India is the full-service alternative. The DED→DEL leg is ≈ 55m and DEL→VNS ≈ 1h 35m. Book both legs on a single PNR so the airline re-accommodates you if the Dehradun flight is delayed and you miss the onward service.
Varanasi fares are typically cheapest in the hot summer of April–June and the monsoon of July–September. Prices spike during Dev Deepawali (November), Mahashivratri, the Ganga aarti festival season and the winter pilgrimage rush. For this connecting route, book ≈ 3–6 weeks ahead; FlightGPT shows when the combined DED–VNS fare via Delhi is at its lowest across travel dates.
Plan ≈ 4–6h end to end via Delhi, with roughly 2h 30m of flying and the rest as layover.

An early Dehradun departure can land you in Varanasi by early afternoon, in time for the evening Ganga aarti.
