Day 1: The most important part of Ayodhya.
Ayodhya has the most important sights from which the most meaningful interactions form the emotional core of Ayodhya.
Morning: Kanak Bhawan and Hanuman Garhi.
As a family, the Hanuman Garhi is a great stop for the 76 steps and will have a huge hilltop. Finish after the sunrise.
Bajrang Bali’s protective energy can be felt as visitors take in stunning views of the city.
Morning light is peaceful, and lines tend to move faster than in the afternoon.
Kanak Bhawan
Take a short auto ride to this golden temple, which Kaikeyi gifted to Sita.
Because of its intricate carvings, shining idols of RamSita, and peaceful courtyard, this temple is especially photogenic.
Spend 60 minutes on darshan and reflection.
Midday: Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Complex
Ram Janmabhoomi Temple
This is the spiritual center of modern Ayodhya. Depending on the day, security checks can take 30 to 60 minutes.
The powerful energy and breathtaking structures are worth the wait.
If the lines are feeling too long, Ram Ki Paidi is a space where you can view the main structure.
Supporting sites within walking distance (if energy permits)
Kuber Tila or Sita Rasoi are quick stops that add a bit of historical context without much additional walking.
Evening: Sarayu River Experience
Sarayu Ghat and evening aarti
Try to arrive at the ghats in the late afternoon. The combination of collective chanting and the view of the sunset over the river is unforgettable.
Experience or observe the aarti, where they use bells and devotional songs to accompany the aarti lamps.
Short boat rides on the Sarayu are optional but are a nice closing activity for the day.
Day 2: More layered Heritage, More reflective spaces.
Slightly less crowded but just as important, these spaces are less busy, while more varied.
Morning: Ancient and Mythic Temples
Nageshwarnath Temple
This is one of the oldest Shiva temples of Ayodhya, which is believed to date back to Treta Yuga.
An ancient Lingam and peaceful premises here offer a nice contrast to the busier spaces of Day 1.
This is ideal for the families looking for a quieter space to pray.
Guptar Ghat
Scenic riverbank spot which is associated with the legends of Lord Ram’s jal samadhi.
Large steps, quiet temples, and open views make for good pictures and a nice spot to relax.
River foot dip (where allowed) is a good way to cool off.
Afternoon: Cultural And Open Air Spaces
Ram Katha Park
Large park with life size dioramas of the Ramayana, open fields, and cultural performances.
The storytelling features are enjoyed by the kids, while the adults enjoy the shaded seating.
This is an ideal break to enjoy some little snacks from the surrounding stalls.
Mani Parvat (optional short climb)
A small hill that provides 360 views of Ayodhya.
After a busy day of visiting the temples, the short climb provides a calm space and a fresh perspective.
