Itinerary

  1. Shri Ram Janma Bhoomi

    2 hours Admission included

    Post breakfast at the hotel, step into the divine realm of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, the birthplace of Lord Ram. This is not just a temple—it is the soul of India. Centuries of devotion, sacrifice, and longing are carved into every inch of this sacred space.

    Marvel at the grand temple structure, designed in the Nagara style, made from pink sandstone and carved by artisans with ancient techniques.

    The sanctum resonates with deep chants, and you’ll feel your heart bowing in surrender.

    According to the Ramayana, this is the very spot where Vishnu took human form to uphold dharma. The energy here is palpable—it's a calling, not just a visit.

  2. Hanuman Garhi Mandir

    2 hours Admission included

    Next is Hanuman Garhi Mandir. This hilltop temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman, the most devoted follower of Shri Ram, this point offers a panoramic view of Ayodhya.

    Climb the 76 steps—each one a symbolic rise in faith—and reach the temple that houses a powerful murti of Bal Hanuman resting on Mata Anjani’s lap.

    It is believed that no darshan of Ram Janmabhoomi is complete without first seeking blessings from Hanuman Garhi.

  3. Kanak Bhavan Temple

    2 hours Admission included

    "Shri Ram aur Mata Sita ka prem, is Bhawan ki deewaron mein basa hai."

    A palace gifted to Sita by Queen Kaikeyi after her marriage to Ram, Kanak Bhawan is known as the “Golden Palace.”

    Inside, you’ll see exquisitely adorned idols of Ram and Sita, glowing with divine grace.

    The intricate mirror work, delicate frescoes, and golden crowns remind us of Treta Yug, when Ram Rajya meant not just governance, but grace, love, and justice.

    Here, you don’t just see idols—you witness the divine couple’s eternal union.

  4. Guptar Ghat

    2 hours Admission included

    This is the ghat where Lord Ram is believed to have taken Jal-Samadhi, returning to his celestial form as Vishnu. It is said that from Guptar Ghat, he ascended to Vaikuntha — a divine departure witnessed only by the faithful.

    The ghat is peaceful, powerful. Even the silence here chants "Ram Ram".

    As you sit by the edge, breathe, you will be standing at the doorway between the mortal and the eternal.

  5. Ram Ki Paidi

    one hour Admission included

    Enjoy a pure satvik meal, prepared and served with devotion.

    Ram ki Paidi is a long series of ghats on the sacred Sarayu River, where millions bathe with the faith of being touched by divinity. Legend says that Ram himself bathed here before rituals and yagnas.

    Dip your fingers in the water and feel the current of time itself. The sight of steps descending into the holy Sarayu, framed by pilgrims and priests, is like a living scripture.

    Ram Ki Paidi is a series of beautifully constructed ghats on the banks of the Saryu Rive. It is a revered site where devotees gather to take holy dips, believing it purifies the soul and brings divine blessings. The ghats come alive during the evening Saryu Aarti, when lamps are floated on the river, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. With its scenic beauty, peaceful ambiance, and strong connection to Lord Ram.Ghat. Now known as the Gupta Rameshwara, the

    cave has become one of the most revered sites

    at the ghat, attracting pilgrims.

  6. Saryu Ghat

    one hour Admission included

    Witness the Sarayu River Aarti

    As evening falls, for the divine Sarayu Aarti. Priests chant Vedic hymns, lamps float across the river like glowing prayers, and the sky turns saffron.

    This moment is not to be seen — it is to be absorbed. The heart expands, the eyes well up.
