Ayodhya is now a central part of many North India spiritual circuits. Visitor numbers have grown dramatically since the Ram Mandir inauguration, with the city welcoming over 11 crore visitors in the first six months of 2024 alone. This surge has led to better infrastructure, new hotels, improved road connectivity, and a more organised pilgrim experience, making it easier for international visitors to plan their journey.
Most travellers choose Ayodhya as part of a larger tour rather than a standalone destination. A typical itinerary begins in Delhi, then moves to Lucknow, Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Prayagraj before returning to Delhi. This route covers the key spiritual landmarks of Uttar Pradesh while also offering cultural highlights such as the Rumi Darwaza and Bara Imambara in Lucknow, the evening Ganga aarti in Varanasi, and the sacred Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj.
Within Ayodhya, the main sites include Ram Janmabhoomi (Ram Mandir), Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhavan, Dashrath Mahal, Sita Ki Rasoi, Guptar Ghat, and the newly developed Ram Ki Paidi for evening aarti. Many visitors also take time for the Saryu River aarti, which has become a defining experience of an Ayodhya pilgrimage.
Tour durations typically range from 6 to 12 days, depending on how many destinations you wish to include. A 6–7 day tour can cover Ayodhya, Varanasi, and Prayagraj from Delhi or Lucknow. A 10–12 day tour allows you to add Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, or even Ranthambore for wildlife. Private tours are especially popular with families and senior travellers because they offer flexibility in timing, rest breaks, and the ability to adjust the plan based on energy levels and crowd conditions.
Ayodhya is well-connected by road from Lucknow (about 3–4 hours), and the new Ayodhya airport has improved access for domestic and limited international connections. Most international visitors, however, still arrive via Delhi and travel by private car or train.
