FAQs
How far is Kashi (Varanasi) from Ayodhya?
Varanasi (Kashi) is approximately 200–210 km from Ayodhya by road, or around 185 km by the most direct rail route. By train, the journey takes 3–5 hours. By road via NH 56, it takes approximately 4–5 hours. Many pilgrims combine both cities in a 4–6 day yatra.
Which trains connect Varanasi to Ayodhya for the Kashi-Ayodhya yatra?
Several trains run between Varanasi Junction (BSB) / Varanasi City (BCY) and Ayodhya Cantt (AY) or Faizabad Junction (FD). Key options include the Kashi Vishwanath Express, Sarayu Express, and Ganga Sutlej Express. Journey time: 3–5 hours. Check the IRCTC website for current schedules.
Should I start the yatra from Kashi or Ayodhya?
Both sequences are spiritually valid. Many pilgrims start from Kashi (Varanasi) with Kashi Vishwanath darshan, then travel to Ayodhya for Ram Mandir darshan. Others begin in Ayodhya and end at Kashi. If you're arriving by flight, it's convenient to fly into either Varanasi (VNS) or Ayodhya (AYJ) and do the inter-city journey by train.
How long should I plan to stay in Ayodhya during the Kashi-Ayodhya yatra?
Most pilgrims plan 2–3 nights in Ayodhya to cover: Ram Mandir darshan, Kanak Bhavan, Hanuman Garhi, Sita Rasoi, Saryu Ghat aarti (morning and evening), and the surrounding temples. For a relaxed yatra with time for prayer and Parikrama, 3 nights is recommended.
