Getting there

Walking

If you are starting from the Varanasi Railway Station, exit the station and head straight towards the main road. Once you reach the main road, turn left and walk towards the Malviya Bridge. Continue straight until you reach the Ganga River. From there, you can follow the ghats (riverbanks) to your left. Keep walking along the river until you reach Ahilyabai Ghat, which is just a short distance away from Darbhanga Ghat.

Auto-rickshaw

To get to Darbhanga Ghat by auto-rickshaw, find an auto-rickshaw outside your location in Varanasi. Tell the driver 'Darbhanga Ghat, near Ahilyabai Ghat.' The journey will take about 15-20 minutes depending on traffic. The driver will drop you off close to the ghat, from where you can easily walk to the river's edge.

Cycle Rickshaw

You can also take a cycle rickshaw to Darbhanga Ghat. Locate a cycle rickshaw stand nearby and inform the driver that you want to go to 'Darbhanga Ghat near Ahilyabai Ghat.' The ride will be leisurely and scenic, taking around 20-25 minutes. The rickshaw will drop you off at the entrance of the ghat area.

Local Bus

If you're feeling adventurous and want to experience local transport, look for a bus that goes towards Dashashwamedh Ghat or any bus that says 'Ghat' in its route. After getting off at the nearest bus stop, navigate towards the Ganga River and follow the ghats to the left until you reach Ahilyabai Ghat, then walk a short distance to Darbhanga Ghat.
