Ayodhya Trip Cost 2026: 3 Days from ₹6,000 per Person

How much does an Ayodhya trip cost?

A 3-day Ayodhya trip costs an estimated ₹6,000–₹12,000 per person by train, including stay and food. Darshan at Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir is free.

• Train (3AC, Delhi–Ayodhya): ₹900–₹1,500 one way
• Vande Bharat chair car: ₹1,500–₹2,000 one way
• Flight to Ayodhya airport: ₹4,000–₹8,000 one way

Where to stay

Dharamshalas start near ₹500 a night. Budget hotels near the station cost ₹1,000–₹2,000, and good hotels ₹3,000–₹5,000. Book early on festival dates like Diwali and Ram Navami.

Places to cover

Plan one full day for the temple and nearby shrines, and one evening for the Saryu aarti.

• Ram Mandir
• Hanuman Garhi
• Kanak Bhawan
• Ram ki Paidi & Saryu aarti
• Guptar Ghat

Money-saving tips

Go between October and March, use e-rickshaws (₹20–₹50 per ride), and eat at local bhojanalayas for ₹100–₹200 a meal. All prices are estimated.

Ayodhya trip cost for couples, families and groups

For a couple, the Ayodhya trip budget comes to roughly double the per-person estimate, a little less because one hotel room and one e-rickshaw are shared. A family of four sharing a family room and an auto between Ram Janmabhoomi, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan and Ram ki Paidi usually saves more per head than a solo traveller.

If you are planning Ayodhya with Varanasi or Prayagraj, the extra cost is mostly the train or bus between cities plus one or two nights of stay. Use the TripSahay planner with your exact number of adults and nights to see an Estimated total before you book an Ayodhya tour package.

Cheapest time to visit Ayodhya and how to save

October to March is the most comfortable time for an Ayodhya trip, but Diwali (Deepotsav), Ram Navami and long weekends push hotel prices up sharply. Weekdays outside festival dates are the best value for Ayodhya dham hotels and dharamshalas.

To save money, book 3AC train tickets early, stay in a dharamshala or guest house within walking distance of the temples, eat at bhojanalayas, and cover places to visit in Ayodhya by shared e-rickshaw rather than a full-day taxi.
