Posted by Ajay Sengar on April 04, 2026

 

Ayodhya is approximately 700 km from Delhi and takes around 10 to 12 hours by road. The best and most comfortable route is Delhi to Agra to Kanpur to Lucknow to Ayodhya via NH19 and NH27. Roads are smooth and well maintained throughout, especially the Lucknow to Ayodhya stretch which has been significantly upgraded after the Ram Mandir inauguration.

An overnight drive works best for this trip leave Delhi by 9 PM, arrive Ayodhya by 7 AM, complete Ram Mandir darshan in the morning when crowds are manageable, visit Hanuman Garhi and Kanak Bhawan, and start the return journey by evening.

For groups of 10 or more, a tempo traveller on rent in Delhi starting at ₹23 per km is the most practical and affordable option for this distance.
