Why Visit Ayodhya in May

Some pilgrims and families travel in May due to school holidays or specific dates. If you are visiting in May, planning for heat and sun is important. Sri Janaki Mahal Trust is in Karsewakpuram, within walking distance of Ram Mandir, so you can minimise time in the sun by starting early and returning to the trust for meals (all included). AC rooms are recommended for a comfortable rest during the day.
