Staying overnight in Ayodhya changes the visit: you can be at the temple when it opens, rest through the heat and return to the Saryu for the evening aarti. The town has added many hotels since 2024, from branded four-star properties on the outskirts to small guesthouses in the lanes near Ram Path.
Location matters more than star rating here. Vehicles cannot reach the temple area, so a simple hotel within walking distance can be more convenient than a larger one several kilometres away. During Ram Navami, Deepotsav and long weekends, rooms sell out and prices rise sharply — book as early as you can.
