About Destination
Ayodhya, on the banks of the Saryu river, is one of Hinduism's seven holiest cities and the birthplace of Lord Ram. Since the Ram Mandir opened, daily footfall has multiplied, making a pre-booked taxi the most predictable way to reach the temple town.
History
Ayodhya's temple town roots go back millennia as the capital of the Kosala kingdom and the setting of the Ramayana. The Ram Janmabhoomi site has been at the center of India's religious and civic life for decades, culminating in the consecration of the new Ram Mandir in January 2024.
Why Visit
Ram Mandir darshan, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan, and Saryu aarti draw pilgrims year-round, while heritage lanes and ghats make it worthwhile even for non-religious travelers.
Climate
Hot summers (Apr–Jun), monsoon (Jul–Sep), pleasant winters (Oct–Mar) — winter is ideal for a full day of temple visits on foot.

One-way and round-trip cabs from Lucknow to Ayodhya, built for pilgrim and family travel — doorstep pickup, clean vehicles, and drivers familiar with darshan timings and parking near the temple complex.
