Gorakhpur Airport (GOP) → Manas Continental Hotel (near Gorakhpur Junction station)
💡 Use the prepaid taxi counter inside the terminal to avoid haggling. Confirm the driver knows 'Manas Continental, near Gorakhpur Junction' — many know it as 'Hotel Manas'.
Any point in city (including airport) → Manas Continental Hotel (400 m from Gorakhpur Junction)
💡 The hotel is walking distance from Gorakhpur Junction's main exit — turn left out of platform 1, then 4 minutes walk. Save money by walking, but take an auto (₹50) if you have heavy bags. No prepaid auto system; negotiate price before getting in.
