Kolkata - Bodh Gaya - Varanasi - Kolkata road trip by Arijit Mukherjee in December 2021

Trip to kashi.... 
Date Of Onwards Journey: 20/12/21
Date Of Return Journey: 24/12/21

Total Distance: 1400 kms (round trip) 

Toll paid one way: ₹855.

Car: Jeep Compass AT

Route: Kolkata - Asansol - Dhanbad - Bodh Gaya - Sasaram - Varanasi 

Started as early as 0500 hrs from Kolkata. Morning was pleasant, roads were clear, took Belghoria Expressway to AH1/ NH19. 
Road conditions were good. 

Treated ourselves with yummy litti at Dhanbad. 

From Dhanbad to Bodhgaya roads were smooth with some diversions owing to road expansion.
 
At Bheria road condition was bad and we had to drive slow. 

We reached Varanasi around 1930 hrs. 

Overall ride was smooth and fun. Enjoyed my ride with Compass. 


Dhabas were not very clean but tea served was excellent. Due to COVID we carried our  own lunch. On return passage we packed some sandwiches from the hotel. 

During return passage we started from Varanasi around 1030 in the morning  after breakfast. 

Didn't stop much on the way.

Reached Dhanbad around 1800 and took night halt at Sonotel Dhanbad. 
Hotel not very good, parking was an issue. 

On 24th started from Dhanbad around 1100 and crossed Palsit around 1430.

Reached home safely around 1700 hrs. 

Thank you Deepda for all your suggestions. It was really helpful.
