Today morning after an early breakfast at the hotel, drive to Ayodhya, which will take 4 to 5 hours. On arrival, check in at the hotel. Ayodhya is one of the major holy cities of Hinduism. It has a central role in the ancient Indian epic, the Ramayana, whose protagonist Lord Rama is God incarnated on Earth as the prince of Ayodhya. The epic describes Lord Rama's 14-year exile, his victory over evil, and his grand return with his wife Sita to Ayodhya to become king. This return to Ayodhya is celebrated as Diwali, the leading festival of hundreds of millions of Hindus worldwide. Consequently, Lord Rama's reign over Ayodhya and its surroundings, called Ram Rajya, is the epitome of good governance and moral society in the Hindu tradition. Ayodhya has come to symbolize inner peace, joy, and spiritual upliftment.

We will visit Ram Janam Bhoomi, Nageshwarnath Temple, Dashrath Ji ka Mahal, Ramkot, and Kanak Bhawan by walking through narrow lanes with a local guide.
