Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Rama, has become one of North India's most visited pilgrimage destinations.

Planning Your Trip from Delhi to Ayodhya
Delhi to Ayodhya is roughly 630 km by road, taking 10-12 hours via the Lucknow-Ayodhya highway. The best time to visit is October to March when the weather is pleasant for sightseeing and temple visits. An overnight journey or a 2-day trip with a stopover in Lucknow makes the drive comfortable, especially for families with children or elderly members.
