IndiGo started flying from Hindon on 20 Jul, 2025, and Varanasi was in its first set of destinations. The launch timetable had flight 6E 2571 leaving Hindon at about 10:30 am and reaching Varanasi around 11:45 am, roughly 1h 15m gate to gate. Air India Express also flew Hindon–Varanasi for a period but has since withdrawn from Hindon. Several Hindon routes were cut in 2026 as airlines moved capacity, so Varanasi now depends on a single IndiGo rotation. Confirm the day you want on FlightGPT; if Hindon has no seat, Delhi IGI has many more Varanasi non-stops.
For families in Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida and East Delhi, Hindon can save an hour or more of road time compared with Indira Gandhi International, which sits on the south-west side of the capital. The terminal is small, with eight check-in counters and short queues, which is easier on elderly parents going for darshan or last rites at Manikarnika. The trade-off is choice: IGI offers many Varanasi flights a day across several airlines, while Hindon has one. Use Hindon when its timing fits your plan and fall back to IGI when it does not.
Hindon Airport is a civil enclave inside the IAF base in Ghaziabad, about 20 km from Connaught Place. There is no metro station at the terminal, so take an app cab, auto or your own car; the car park is small, at around 90 spaces. Security on the approach road is stricter than at a civilian airport, so keep your boarding pass and photo ID in hand. For a mid-morning departure, leave Noida or Indirapuram with enough slack for school and office traffic, and aim to be at the counter about 75 minutes before take-off.
On a standard IndiGo domestic economy fare you get 15 kg of check-in baggage in one piece and 7 kg of cabin baggage plus a small personal item such as a laptop bag or handbag. A few points for Varanasi trips:
Varanasi's Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport is at Babatpur, about 26 km north-west of the city. Prepaid and app taxis run from the terminal, and the drive to Godowlia or Dashashwamedh Ghat usually takes 45 minutes to over an hour, depending on traffic in the old city. Cars cannot enter the narrow lanes near Kashi Vishwanath Temple, so your taxi will drop you at the nearest road point and you walk or take an e-rickshaw the last stretch. If you are staying near Assi Ghat or BHU, tell the driver early, since the routes differ.
Demand on any Delhi–Varanasi flight climbs sharply around:
With only one Hindon flight a day, these dates can sell out weeks ahead. Search early on FlightGPT and compare IGI departures if Hindon is full.
Landing around noon leaves the afternoon and evening free, which suits a first day in Kashi. Check in at your hotel or guest house, rest through the hottest hours, and walk to Dashashwamedh Ghat for the evening Ganga aarti, which usually starts around sunset. A boat ride at dusk from Dashashwamedh or Assi Ghat gives the best view of the ghats and the aarti. Darshan at Kashi Vishwanath Temple is quickest early in the morning, before the crowds build, so many visitors keep it for the next day. Sarnath, where the Buddha gave his first sermon, is about 10 km from the city and makes an easy half-day trip. If you are visiting for Dev Deepawali, book your boat or terrace spot in advance, because both sell out well before the night.
Both the Delhi NCR and Varanasi airports see dense fog in December and January, and morning departures are the most exposed. A late-morning flight like the Hindon service usually takes off after the worst fog has cleared, but delays are still common. Build in a buffer if you have a ceremony or Ganga aarti booking on arrival day. For the return, the IndiGo flight back usually leaves Varanasi shortly after the inbound lands; see Varanasi to Ghaziabad (Hindon) flights.
