Chiku Cabs Help a New Family Explore Varanasi
The Sharma family from Bhopal felt great anticipation as they arrived at Varanasi Junction. This was Sharma’s first visit to this spiritual center of India.
They had only one day to visit the site with their children and their grandparents. The Sharmas were looking for a travel plan that could take them around in a fast and safe way.
After doing her homework before their trip, Mrs. Sharma had one option in mind: “Let’s book a Chiku Cab.”
That simple decision not only made their one day Varanasi trip possible, it made it an unforgettable trip.
A One-Day Trip Doesn’t Mean Rushing Around
The Sharmas were like many Indian families that had a lot on their plates. Mr. Sharma had taken a day off from work, the kids had school the next day, and the grandparents didn’t want to do a lot of walking.
As they considered taking a random auto to the hotel or waiting for a public bus, they pulled up the Chiku Cab app.
The cab driver came on time and greeted them with a smile. He took their luggage and loaded it in his air-conditioned SUV with a pristine cabin.
No haggling and confusion. Just comfort from the first minute.
First Stop: Kashi Vishwanath Temple
The cab took them directly to the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor that was shining in the early morning sun.
The driver managed to take them as close as possible and instructed them where to go around the temple. With online darshan passes already arranged, they had a smooth darshan of Lord Shiva.
For the grandparents, being dropped so close was a blessing. And after darshan, their cab was waiting right where they left it. No walking around searching for transport.
Next Up: Aarti at Assi Ghat
The family then headed toward Assi Ghat. They watched the beautiful morning Ganga Aarti. The kids were mesmerized by the lamps, chants and birds flying over the water. They took a short boat ride, which they had only seen in pictures.
Thanks to Chiku Cab’s hourly rental option, there was no pressure of hurrying through. The driver waited patiently and even suggested a great tea stall nearby that served kulhad chai and toast.
Quick Brunch at Lanka
After the boat ride, they were hungry. The driver took them to a small but popular restaurant in Lanka just off BHU, which served poori-sabzi, jalebi, and lassi. It was not even listed on Google Maps, but the local driver knew exactly where it was. “This is where the BHU students eat,” he said with a smile.
The family enjoyed their meal, and again, their cab was ready outside. No walking in the heat or negotiating with local autos.
Exploring BHU Campus
After brunch, they took a quick drive around the BHU campus. The kids appreciated all the green trees and big gates while Mr. Sharma couldn’t believe how big the campus was.
The driver even took them to see the Vishwanath Temple, which is famous in BHU, and they were given a super quick 20-minute walking tour.
Afternoon Rest and Sweets at Ram Bhandar
At approximately 2 PM, they were tired but not headed back to the station just yet. The driver suggested a brief stop at Ram Bhandar in Thatheri Bazaar.
Ram Bhandar was an acclaimed sweet shop known in these parts. They picked up boxes of Malai Gilori and peda to take home. They enjoyed a chai break before their last stop.
Final Stop: Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat
As the sun began to set, the family arrived at Dashashwamedh Ghat for the renowned evening Ganga Aarti.
Fortunately, with the assistance of their driver, they were able to find a nice spot to sit. They felt the most magical moment of their journey, as the chants, lights and river breeze gave them goosebumps..
After the Aarti, instead of waiting in long lines for autos or walking forever, their cab arrived in just a few minutes. We took them to the railway station for their return trip.
Real Story, Real Comfort
What made this experience unique was the ease that came with the arrangement. For a family entirely new to Varanasi, the narrow lanes and the multitude of people would have been surprising. But with Chiku Cab, they had:
- A single cab with a local driver familiar with the city
- A flexible schedule without rush
- Door-to-door service even in tricky places
- Clean, air-conditioned comfort all day
- No stress about directions, fare, or safety
Mrs. Sharma later shared in her review:
“We saw so much in one day without feeling tired or lost. Chiku Cab made it feel like a guided family trip. My parents were the happiest.”
Similar Incidents in Recent Months
This post isn’t just a one-off. In April 2024, during the Ram Navami surge, hundreds of families came to the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor. They took advantage of Chiku Cab’s hourly rental package for their darshan and sightseeing.
Chiku Cab also offered dedicated cabs from Varanasi Junction and Manduadih to key spiritual sites to help elderly travellers.
A group of school teachers from Kanpur took a one-day spiritual break in Varanasi in May 2024. They utilized Chiku Cab to visit Sankat Mochan Temple, Sarnath, and the Ravidas Ghat in a total of 8 hours. This is something they believed was impossible before this trip.
