Winters are probably the best time to visit Varanasi. There are quite a lot of trains everyday and tickets are mostly available.

The best time to visit the city of Varanasi is during the winter months (November to February). Although it gets cold, this is the ideal time to explore the holy city comfortably, without getting tired in the heat. The average low temperature is around 5°C.
