The most convenient way to reach the city center from Ayodhya Airport is by taxi. Expect to pay around ₹500-₹700 for a ride to the main city. Auto-rickshaws are also available, costing approximately ₹200-₹300, but negotiate the fare beforehand.

Things to do in Ayodhya

Visit the Ram Janmabhoomi, the Hindu sacred site believed to be the birthplace of Lord Rama. Explore Hanuman Garhi, a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, accessible by a flight of stairs. Take a peaceful walk along the banks of the Sarayu River. See Kanak Bhavan, believed to have been gifted to Sita by Kaikeyi.

Food to try

Try the local street food like 'chaat' and 'samosas' available near the temples. 'Lassi', a yogurt-based drink, is a refreshing option, especially during warmer months. Sample traditional Uttar Pradeshi thali for a complete meal.
