Day : 1 Delhi to Ayodhya (Travel & Major Temple Visits)
Your spiritual journey to Ayodhya begins early in the morning with a transfer from your location in Delhi to Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) for a direct flight to Maharishi Valmiki International Airport in Ayodhya (AYJ). The flight duration is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, offering a swift and comfortable travel option. Alternatively, some travelers may arrive via overnight train, reaching Ayodhya early morning. Upon arrival, you will be received by a local tour representative and transferred to your pre-booked hotel for check-in and refreshments.
Begin your divine exploration with a visit to the majestic Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, the sacred birthplace of Lord Rama. Spend time offering prayers and absorbing the spiritual energy of this deeply revered site. Note that security is strict—mobile phones and bags may need to be stored in lockers. Afterward, proceed to Hanuman Garhi, a 10th-century temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman. Situated atop a hill, you’ll climb a flight of stairs to reach the shrine and enjoy panoramic views of the city from the top.
Next, visit Kanak Bhawan, also known as Sone-ka-Mandir. This beautifully decorated temple is dedicated to Lord Rama and Goddess Sita and is believed to have been gifted to Sita by Kaikeyi. As the sun begins to set, head to the banks of the sacred Saryu River and visit Ram Ki Paidi—a series of well-constructed ghats perfect for taking a holy dip or enjoying a peaceful evening. If your schedule allows, don’t miss the mesmerizing Saryu Aarti, a soulful prayer ceremony held at dusk. End the day with an overnight stay in a comfortable hotel in Ayodhya.
Day : 2 Ayodhya Sightseeing & Departure to Delhi
After breakfast, continue your exploration of the sacred city with a morning visit to Dashrath Mahal, the palace said to have been the residence of King Dashrath, the father of Lord Rama. Then visit the Nageshwarnath Temple, an ancient Shiva temple believed to have been founded by Lord Rama’s son, Kush. Nearby, explore Sita Ki Rasoi, a symbolic kitchen believed to mark the site where Goddess Sita once cooked meals during her time in Ayodhya.
If time permits, consider optional visits to sites such as Tulsi Smarak Bhawan—a memorial dedicated to poet-saint Tulsidas, the author of the Ramcharitmanas—or Guptar Ghat, where legend says Lord Rama ascended to his heavenly abode. Before your departure, you’ll have some leisure time to explore local markets where you can shop for religious souvenirs, Ram idols, and traditional crafts of Ayodhya.
In the afternoon, you will be transferred to Ayodhya Airport or Railway Station for your return journey to Delhi, concluding your enriching and spiritually fulfilling pilgrimage to the birthplace of Lord Rama.
