Ayodhya is a city of great historical and religious significance in Uttar Pradesh, revered as the birthplace of Lord Rama. Travellers can experience a blend of ancient heritage and developing infrastructure.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Ayodhya is during the winter months, from October to March. The weather is cool and pleasant, ideal for temple visits and exploring the city. Avoid the monsoon season (July-September) due to heavy rainfall.

Getting from the airport to Ayodhya

The most convenient way to get from the Ayodhya Airport to the city center is by taxi or auto-rickshaw. Taxi services are readily available outside the airport and cost around ₹300-₹500. Auto-rickshaws are a cheaper alternative, costing approximately ₹150-₹300 for the same journey.

Things to do in Ayodhya

Visit the Ram Janmabhoomi, the birthplace of Lord Rama and the most significant site in Ayodhya. Explore Hanuman Garhi, a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, accessible by climbing a flight of stairs. Take a boat ride on the Sarayu River, a sacred river flowing through Ayodhya. See Kanak Bhavan, believed to be a gift from Goddess Sita to Lord Rama.

Food to try

Try the local Awadhi cuisine, known for its rich flavors and Mughlai influences. Sample the street food, including chaat and kachori, available near the Hanuman Garhi temple. Do not miss the 'peda', a sweet delicacy that Ayodhya is famous for.

Local tips

Dress modestly when visiting temples and religious sites; covering your shoulders and knees is advisable. Be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas, especially around temples and railway stations. Bargain when taking auto-rickshaws or cycle-rickshaws, as prices can be inflated for tourists.
