Varanasi's fares peak around Dev Deepawali (Nov), Diwali, and the winter pilgrimage and wedding season; the city also draws crowds for Mahashivratri. The cheapest windows are typically the hot pre-monsoon months and the monsoon (April–August), when tourist demand to the ghats softens. As a connecting domestic trip, booking ≈ 3–6 weeks ahead generally lands fair prices. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026.
Plan ≈ 5.5–8h door-to-door including one stop. There is no direct flight on this pair; realistic hubs are Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM) and Bengaluru (BLR), and the choice mostly affects total time, not price. Mangalore→hub legs run roughly 1–2.5h, and the hub→Varanasi leg ≈ 1.5–2h. Pick the hub with the shortest layover that still leaves a safe connection buffer, since a missed link can mean a multi-hour wait for the next bank.
Domestic checked baggage is typically 15 kg on IndiGo/Akasa low-cost fares and 25 kg on Air India full-service, plus ≈ 7 kg cabin; LCCs charge for extra bags and for paid seats. If both legs are on one ticket your bags are usually checked through to Varanasi — confirm at Mangalore check-in. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026; the connecting structure means small timing changes can shift the price.
