Plan your stay
When to go
The best time to visit Ajodhya is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and suitable for sightseeing. Summers from April to June can be very hot, with temperatures often exceeding 40°C, while the monsoon from July to September brings humidity and rainfall. Diwali in October or November and Ram Navami in March or April are celebrated with great enthusiasm but attract large crowds, so plan accordingly if you wish to avoid the rush or join the celebrations.
