Ayodhya Republic Day January 26 - Booking Janaki Mahal

Republic Day (January 26) is a national holiday in India. Many visitors plan a weekend trip to Ayodhya around this date for darshan and a short stay. This guide explains how to book Sri Janaki Mahal Trust for the Republic Day weekend, what to expect in Ayodhya in late January, and how to avoid scams.

Why Book Early for January 26

January 26 is a holiday, and the preceding or following weekend is often used for travel. Demand for rooms near Ram Mandir rises. Sri Janaki Mahal Trust has limited rooms; booking 3–4 weeks in advance (or earlier for the exact weekend) gives you the best chance of securing your preferred room type and dates. Last-minute bookings may still be possible but are not guaranteed.

How to Book for Republic Day Weekend

  • Official channels only: Book via official booking or contact number: +91 8569816612 (phone and WhatsApp).
  • Provide dates: Tell the team your check-in and check-out dates (e.g. 25th–27th January or 26th–28th January).
  • Room type: Choose AC or Non-AC, and bed count (2, 3, 4, or suite) as per rooms and room prices.
  • Confirmation: Get a clear written confirmation with booking reference, room type, and total amount.
  • Avoid scams: Do not pay any agent or website that is not the official trust. See how to avoid scams and avoid fake bookings.
