Ayodhya Sightseeing Itinerary
Ayodhya is a holy city in Uttar Pradesh, located on the banks of the River Sarayu (Ayodhya One Day Tour). It is one of the seven sacred places for Hindus. In ancient times, it was called Saketa and was the capital of the Kosala kingdom.
Ayodhya is famous as the birthplace of Lord Rama, the hero of the Ramayana. It is also important for Jains, as five Tirthankaras, including Adinath, were born here. An Ayodhya one-day tour with us is the best way to explore the city. We will take you on a tour of temples, historical sites, and spiritual places to learn about its rich culture and heritage.
The One-Day Ayodhya Sightseeing Itinerary
The One Day Ayodhya Local Sightseeing Trip begins early in the morning to ensure you can explore the city thoroughly. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Ayodhya and start the journey with a visit to Naya Ghat.
Here, you can take a holy dip in the sacred Sarayu River. If you prefer not to bathe, you can enjoy the stunning sunrise and the peaceful surroundings, which are sure to refresh your mind, body, and soul. Our next stop will be Hanuman Garhi, a famous temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman.
According to legend, Hanuman lived in a cave here while protecting Ayodhya. Many believe that offering oil to the deity helps in fulfilling their wishes. After seeking blessings, we will visit the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, the birthplace of Lord Rama. This sacred site is being transformed by the construction of a grand temple.
From there, we will head to Kanak Bhawan, a beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Rama and Goddess Sita.
This palace was said to be gifted to them on their wedding day. Next, we will visit Ram Ki Paidi, a series of ghats along the banks of the Sarayu River.
These ghats are considered holy, and taking a dip here is believed to wash away sins. Our final destination will be Nageshvarnath Temple, a popular Shiva temple built by Kush, the son of Lord Rama. After visiting this sacred site, we will conclude the trip, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Ayodhya’s rich heritage and spiritual charm.
Shop Your Heart Out
We will also help you explore the vibrant streets of Ayodhya, which are filled with shops selling colourful and unique items. During our Ayodhya city tour by private taxi, we can visit the local bazaars to find special souvenirs for our loved ones. We can buy beautiful idols of Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, Lord Lakshmana, Lord Hanuman, and Lord Shiva, intricately crafted in wood, metal, or marble.
We can also shop for T-shirts, kurtas, and stoles with religious texts printed on them. Keychains with images of Lord Rama and Sita, devotional objects, and pictures of famous temples are other great options to take back as memories of this spiritual journey.
One unique souvenir we can pick up is the locally made ‘Maharaja Chandan.’ It is created using turmeric, sandalwood, and other natural ingredients. There are also other varieties of Ayodhya sandalwood, including Ramraj Chandan, Roli Chandan, Mailkota Chandan, Gopiraj Chandan, Shri Chandan, and Jankiraj Chandan. These items are perfect for keeping the essence of Ayodhya (Ayodhya One Day Tour) alive long after our visit.
Enjoy The Culinary Delights
Ayodhya is a religious city, so we will only find vegetarian and vegan food here. The dining options are simple, with many small restaurants and street food stalls serving delicious local and regional dishes. We can enjoy cuisines like Punjabi, North Indian, South Indian, and even Chinese during our visit.
On our way, we can try the many flavours of chaat, such as Aaloo Tikki, Papri Chaat, Dahi Bhalla, and Pani Puri. We can also enjoy crispy samosas or stuffed kachoris, which are popular snacks. For a hearty meal, we can have fried Bhature with spicy Chhole gravy, served with onions and pickles. Another tasty local dish to try is smoking-hot Litti Chokha, served with chutney. To end our meal on a sweet note, we can taste the famous Rabri and Laddoo, which are among Ayodhya’s most loved desserts.
