By train, Varanasi is one of the most well-connected cities in northern India, making rail travel a convenient and popular option for pilgrims and tourists.

Varanasi Junction (BSB) is the primary railway station, connecting the city with major destinations such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Lucknow, Patna, Prayagraj, Chennai, and Bengaluru.

Banaras Railway Station (BSBS), formerly known as Manduadih, handles several long-distance and express trains and helps reduce congestion at Varanasi Junction.

Manduadih Railway Station and Kashi Railway Station also serve the city, catering mainly to passenger and short-distance trains connecting nearby towns and cities.

Regular express, superfast, and premium trains provide comfortable rail connectivity throughout the year. Travelers are advised to book tickets in advance, especially during festivals and peak travel seasons.
