How many days are enough for an Ayodhya visit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>2 days is sufficient for Ram Mandir darshan, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan, and an evening at the Saryu ghats. 3 days allows a more relaxed visit including Patal Dwara, Dashrath Mahal, and a morning boat ride on the Saryu.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Q15_Can_I_combine_Ayodhya_with_Prayagraj_or_Varanasi\"><\/span>Q15. Can I combine Ayodhya with Prayagraj or Varanasi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 Prayagraj is 160 km (3\u20133.5 hrs) from Ayodhya and Varanasi is 200 km (4\u20135 hrs). A 4\u20135 day circuit covering Ayodhya, Prayagraj (Triveni Sangam), and Varanasi (Kashi Vishwanath, Ganga Aarti) is one of the most spiritually rich journeys in India.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Reaching Ram Mandir Ayodhya has never been more straightforward.
