different group sizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>9-seater<\/strong> \u2014 small families or couples travelling together<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>12-seater<\/strong> \u2014

trips<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Local sightseeing packages<\/strong> within Ayodhya<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final fare typically depends on the vehicle size selected, trip type, distance covered, and duration of the booking. Driver charges, fuel, and vehicle maintenance are built into the base fare, while items like toll tax, parking, and night halt charges are billed separately unless specified otherwise in your package. Always confirm inclusions and exclusions with our team at the time of booking so there&#8217;s no ambiguity later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Varanasi_to_Ayodhya_Tempo_Traveller_Toll_Tax\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>Varanasi to Ayodhya Tempo Traveller Toll Tax<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Varanasi to Ayodhya route runs via <strong>NH27<\/strong> (through Jaunpur and Sultanpur) and crosses <strong>4 main toll plazas<\/strong> \u2014 the same corridor whether you&#8217;re travelling by car, SUV, or Tempo Traveller. All four plazas are FASTag-enabled, and every ChikuCab vehicle carries an active FASTag, so there&#8217;s no cash queue at the barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toll charges are set by the toll plaza operator under NHAI\/state highway rules and are based on <strong>vehicle classification<\/strong> (Light Commercial Vehicle \/ Mini-Bus vs. Bus\/Heavy Commercial Vehicle category) rather than the exact seat count. In practice, this means a <strong>9 to 12-seater Tempo Traveller<\/strong> is billed in the LCV\/Mini-Bus bracket, while a <strong>16 to 20-seater Tempo Traveller<\/strong> falls into the higher Bus\/HCV bracket at most plazas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toll rates are revised periodically by highway authorities, so treat the figures below as a current reference and reconfirm with our team at the time of booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Varanasi_to_Ayodhya_Toll_Plaza_and_Toll_Charges\"><\/span><a><\/a><strong>Varanasi to Ayodhya Toll Plaza and Toll Charges<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the 4 toll plazas on the Varanasi to Ayodhya NH27 route, with distance from Varanasi and Tempo Traveller charges by seating category (one-way, per crossing):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Toll Plaza<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Distance from Varanasi<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>9\u201312 Seater Tempo Traveller<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>16\u201320 Seater Tempo Traveller<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Varanasi Ring Road \/ Bypass Toll<\/td><td>Varanasi Bypass \/ Ring Road exit<\/td><td>~5\u201310 km<\/td><td>\u20b9220<\/td><td>\u20b9270<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jaunpur Toll Plaza<\/td><td>NH731 \/ Jaunpur city approach<\/td><td>~50\u201360 km<\/td><td>\u20b9240<\/td><td>\u20b9300<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Sultanpur Toll Plaza<\/td><td>NH27, Sultanpur bypass<\/td><td>~105\u2013115 km<\/td><td>\u20b9290<\/td><td>\u20b9355<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Faizabad \/ Rudauli Toll Plaza<\/td><td>NH27, near Faizabad\u2013Rudauli junction<\/td><td>~165\u2013175 km<\/td><td>\u20b9280<\/td><td>\u20b9340<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total (One-Way)<\/strong><\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>~200 km<\/td><td><strong>\u20b91,030<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>\u20b91,265<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Total (Round Trip)<\/strong><\/td><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td>~400 km<\/td><td><strong>\u20b92,060<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>\u20b92,530<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Round trip toll is calculated as double the one-way total, since every toll plaza is crossed once in each direction.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alternate route note:<\/strong> If you travel via Prayagraj instead of the direct NH27 corridor, the distance increases to roughly 230 km and the toll plazas \u2014 and total toll amount \u2014 will differ.

Round trip toll is roughly <strong>\u20b92,060 and \u20b92,530<\/strong> respectively, since each plaza is crossed twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Is toll tax included in the Varanasi to Ayodhya Tempo Traveller fare?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes, with ChikuCab, toll tax is included in the quoted fare for standard one-way and round trip Varanasi to Ayodhya Tempo Traveller packages. Always double-check this with any operator before booking, since it&#8217;s not universal across the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Who pays the toll tax \u2014 the traveller or the driver?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: With ChikuCab, toll is bundled into your fare, so there&#8217;s nothing to pay at the barrier. If you book elsewhere and toll is marked &#8220;extra,&#8221; it&#8217;s typically settled at the toll plaza via FASTag or added to the final bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Does the toll tax differ for 12-seater, 16-seater, and 17-seater Tempo Travellers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes. Toll plazas classify vehicles by category rather than exact seat count \u2014 a 9\u201312 seater Tempo Traveller falls in the LCV\/Mini-Bus bracket (around \u20b91,030 one-way total), while a 16\u201320 seater falls in the Bus\/HCV bracket (around \u20b91,265 one-way total) across the same 4 plazas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can a Tempo Traveller be parked directly near Ram Mandir?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Not usually. Traffic restrictions near the temple typically require vehicles to park at a designated point, followed by a short walk or local transfer to reach Ram Mandir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Are parking charges in Ayodhya fixed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: No. Parking charges vary by vehicle type, location, duration, and day-specific traffic management, especially during high-footfall periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: What is the approximate road distance from Varanasi to Ayodhya?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Roughly 165\u2013200 km, depending on the exact route and starting point within each city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Q: Can toll and parking charges change closer to the travel date?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: Yes. Toll rates are revised periodically by highway authorities, and parking arrangements near Ram Mandir can change based on crowd management needs. We recommend confirming current charges at the time of booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning a Varanasi to Ayodhya Tempo Traveller trip for Ram Mandir darshan?
