Myself and my wife went for spiritual Darshan of Sri Rama. What a blessing. Jai Sri Ram. We stayed in Hyatt Lucknow and organized this day trip to Ayodhya and back. Since Ayodhya as a town with sufficient star hotels is yet to happen, traveling from Lucknow is a good option. Thus organizing this travel with spiritual sojourn is very good. The organizer was quick to respond to my questions, answered via WhatsApp, organized the car and driver and the guide in Ayodhya. They were also accommodative on our request for preferred time and places to visit in Ayodhya apart from Sri Rama Janmabhoomi. They showed us Sita palace, Hanuman Garhi, and Sarayu river apart from Sri Rama Janmabhoomi. Since we hold USA passport, we has special queue for foreigners that also helped faster Darshan. Overall spiritual Darshan does a very good job. However, we were not impressed by the guide they gave us, you expect the guide to tell us historical perspective and good stories. But the guide was more like a local showing you the way. That was disappointing. Also, he took us to Sarayu river at location we wondered why when he could have taken us to place where Arathi is conducted (even though we mentioned, we won’t stay for Sarayu Arathi). The guide must also be someone who is devotee of Sri Ram and his Parivar. This aspect must improve. Also the driver (very good person) can come more professionally dressed and should be more interactive. The car can also be a better quality one. However, I must commend prompt responses to my questions and timely responses. My suggestions are for the business to look very professional and top class so it can attract more tourists. Jai Sri Sita Rama🙏
