What is the Ramayana Circuit?

The Circuit Route (4-Day Itinerary)

Ayodhya (The Departure)

The journey begins in the glorious kingdom. Have a peaceful Darshan at the grand Ram Mandir and Hanuman Garhi. Spend the evening soaking in the spiritual ambiance of the Saryu Aarti at Ram Ki Paidi.

Shringverpur (The Crossing)

Located near Prayagraj, this is the historic site where Lord Ram crossed the mighty Ganga River. Witness the profound tale of Nishadraj Guha's unwavering hospitality and Kevat's pure devotion at the riverbanks.

Prayagraj (The Ashram)

Take a deeply purifying holy dip at the Triveni Sangam (confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati). Visit Sage Bharadwaj's ancient ashram, where Lord Ram sought guidance before entering the deeper forests.

Chitrakoot (The Forest Life)

The serene forests where Ram, Sita, and Lakshman spent 11.5 years of their exile. Perform the sacred Kamadgiri Parikrama, visit Ramghat on the Mandakini river, and explore the mystical Gupt Godavari caves.
