A 10N/11D Spiritual Journey from Ayodhya to Janakpur (The Ramayana Circuit)
Introduction: The Call of the Maryada Purushottam
“Sri Rama Rama Rameti, Rame Raame Manorame; Sahasranama Tattulyam, Rama Nama Varanane.”
We have all grown up listening to the Sundara Kanda in our homes. We have heard our elders recite the Ramayana Parayanam, painting vivid pictures of Lord Rama’s grace, Mother Sita’s patience, and Hanuman’s strength.
But for a devotee, hearing the story is only half the journey. The other half is Darshan, which is the true essence of our Ramayana Yatra tour package.
Imagine standing on the banks of the Sarayu, where the Lord took his first steps. Imagine breathing the air in Chitrakoot, where He spent 11 years in meditation and exile. Imagine touching the soil of Mithila, where the divine union of Prakriti (Sita) and Purusha (Rama) took place.
Many devotees from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala dream of this Kashi-Ayodhya-Gaya pilgrimage. They often search for a reliable Ramayana Yatra tour package, but hold back. Why? The fear of the unknown—language barriers, food habits, and travel safety.
At Prayag Samagam, we don’t just offer a tour package; our Ramayana Yatra tour package is a bridge to your faith. We take care of the logistics (Language, Food, Stay) so you can focus entirely on your Bhakti.
The Ramayana is not a Book; It is a map.
Here is why this 10 Nights / 11 Days journey is unlike any holiday you will ever take. We take you to the exact spots where the epic unfolded.
1. Ayodhya: The Beginning of Dharma (The Birth)
- The Story: This is the capital of the Ikshvaku Dynasty. It was here that King Dasharatha performed the Putrakameshti Yagna and received four sons. It was here that Rama walked as a child, delighting the residents of Kosala.
- The Experience: When you visit the newly built Ram Janmabhoomi Temple as the first major stop of our Ramayana Yatra tour package, you are not just seeing a structure; you are witnessing the return of the King after 500 years. A dip in the Sarayu River is said to wash away the sins of lifetimes, just as it purified the citizens of Ayodhya in the Treta Yuga.
2. Buxar (Siddhashram): The Making of a Warrior
- The Story: Most tour operators skip this, but we don’t. This is where the boy Rama became the warrior Rama. Sage Vishwamitra brought Rama and Lakshmana here to protect his Yagna. It was here that Rama killed the demoness Tadaka and liberated Ahilya from her curse (Ahalya Uddhar).
- The Experience: Standing here, you feel the energy of transformation. This is the land of the Guru-Shishya tradition. You will realise that before Rama could break Shiva’s bow, he had to first serve his Guru here.
3. Janakpur (Nepal): The Divine Union (Vivaha)
- The Story: This is the kingdom of Raja Janaka, and a unique highlight of this Ramayana Yatra tour package. It is here that the mighty Shiva Dhanush (Bow) was kept. Kings from all over the world failed to lift it, but Lord Rama lifted it effortlessly, breaking it and winning the hand of Mata Sita.
- The Experience: Walking through the Vivaha Mandap, you can almost hear the wedding chants of the past. For married couples, visiting Janakpur is considered a blessing for a long, harmonious life. It is the home of Mata, and the welcome here is full of love and sweetness.
4. Sitamarhi: The Appearance of Shakti
- The Story: Before the wedding, there was the birth. King Janaka was ploughing the field to please the rain gods when his plough hit a pot. Inside was baby Sita.
- The Experience: At Panaura Dham, you connect with the Earth element (Bhoomi). It is an emotional site that reminds us of Sita Mata’s purity and her connection to nature.
5. Prayagraj (Triveni Sangam): The Path of Exile
- The Story: When Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana left for Vanvas (exile), they came to the ashram of Sage Bharadwaja here. They crossed the mighty Ganga on a boat, a scene immortalised in the scriptures where the boatman (Kevat) washed the Lord’s feet.
- The Experience: Taking a boat ride at the Sangam (Confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati) is a mystical experience included in your Ramayana Yatra tour package. You are following the exact route the Lord took when he gave up his royal robes for the bark of trees.
6. Chitrakoot: The Hill of Many Wonders
- The Story: This is the heart of the Aranya Kanda. Lord Rama spent nearly 11 of his 14 years of exile here. This is where Bharat Milap happened—where Bharata met Rama and pleaded with him to return, eventually taking his Padukas (sandals) instead.
- The Experience: Chitrakoot is serene and green. When you do the Parikrama of Kamadgiri, you are walking on the same dust that touched the Lord’s feet. The Gupt Godavari caves will evoke a sense of adventure and divinity.
7. Varanasi (Kashi) & Gaya: Salvation (Moksha)
- The Story: While Rama belongs to Ayodhya, Kashi belongs to Shiva. But the two are inseparable, which is why this stop is an essential part of our Ramayana Yatra tour package. Lord Rama worshipped Shiva, and Shiva chanted Rama’s name. Finally, we go to Gaya, where Lord Rama performed Pind Daan for King Dasharatha.
- The Experience: In Kashi, the evening Ganga Aarti will mesmerise you. By choosing this Ramayana Yatra tour package, in Gaya, you have the rare opportunity to perform rituals for your own ancestors at the Vishnupad Temple, fulfilling your duty as a son or daughter, just as Rama did.
8. Gaya – Ancestral Salvation & Departure
- The Story: For those wishing to perform Pind Daan (ancestral rituals), there is no place more auspicious than the Vishnupad Temple. We have specifically included this sacred ritual in our Ramayana Yatra tour package. After seeking the blessings of your ancestors, we drop you at the airport/station with a heart full of divine memories.
- The Experience: We end the journey in Gaya and Bodhgaya.
