Chitrakoot is a spiritual retreat spread over hills where Lord Ram, Sita, and Lakshman spent 11 years of their exile. The Varanasi to Chitrakoot taxi journey covers about 260 km and takes 6-7 hours. It is a serene drive through the Bundelkhand region.
Since the travel time is significant, we recommend a 2-day trip.
Day 1: Depart Varanasi early, reach Chitrakoot, check-in, and attend the evening Aarti at Ramghat.
Day 2: Early morning Kamadgiri Parikrama, visit Gupt Godavari and Hanuman Dhara, then drive back to Varanasi.
It is very hectic as 12-14 hours go into driving alone. We strongly advise a night stay.
An SUV like Ertiga or Innova is recommended for better comfort on the long drive.

The road is safe, but we advise avoiding late-night driving on the remote stretches of Bundelkhand.
