Sense of Divinity

My recent trip to Ayodhya was amazing and honestly much better than I expected. I was a little skeptical about the place before visiting, but the moment I saw the beautiful Ram Temple and the overall arrangements, I was genuinely impressed. Everything was well organized, and the hospitality throughout the trip was excellent. During my visit, I also discovered Airattix's luggage storage facility near the Ram Temple. It turned out to be very convenient as I could store my luggage safely and explore the temple without any hassle. The staff was friendly, and the storage cabinets were clean and well maintained. I especially loved the name of their luggage storage service, "Saman Kaksh." It has a nice heritage touch and blends beautifully with the spirit of Ayodhya. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I'm glad I chose this trip.

luggage storage

My Ayodhya trip became much more comfortable and stress-free because of Airattix Saman Kash. Since we were carrying extra luggage while visiting Shri Ram Mandir, finding a safe place to keep our bags was a big concern. Airattix provided a very secure, clean luggage storage service near the temple area. The booking process was smooth, the staff was supportive, and our belongings were handled professionally. It allowed us to explore Ayodhya peacefully without worrying about luggage. Highly recommended for pilgrims and travelers visiting Ayodhya!

A Whirlwind tour of Ayodhya in a day

My wife and I embarked on a single day tour of Ayodhya. We didn’t have time this trip for Varanasi. This was our first time and booked through Trip Advisor. Communication was excellent prior to our visit. Our guide, Abhay came on time and was cordial and helpful. He and the driver took us to the main temples. A car was not allowed in certain areas so we had to take an auto rickshaw. Be prepared to pay around 60 rupees for each ride. There were several. Be sure to bring Indian currency. We also had to walk barefoot at several places. We had to show our passports and visa (OCI in our case) at the Ram temple which sped up the process. They have lockers with a key for valuables. No phones allowed. The driver suggested a good restaurant for lunch. These places including our hotel do not accept international credit cards so once again we needed cash. Luckily we had enough. Uber though takes credit cards. The tour was excellent. We returned to the River in the evening for the Arati celebrations. We would recommend highly. It may be helpful to read about Lord Ram prior to coming as helps with some of the history and temples. I had read Ramayana by Rajagopalachari prior to coming. My wife wished she prepared better ahead of time. Our guide was helpful but advanced preparation allowed for a more enriched experience.

6 Star Tour and Guide

Alok gave us a 6 star tour of Ayodhya, guiding us through many important temples and other sites, which was made more challenging because there were large crowds in the city for Diwali. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and spoke excellent English. Highly recommended this tour and Alok as a guide.

Operator response

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour of Ayodhya despite the Diwali crowds. Alok will be very pleased to know his knowledge, guidance, and support made your experience memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation.

A day out in Ayodhya

Our guide was Alok for the day. He contacted us the night before and we were able to confirm everything for the following day. On the day he was knowledgeable kind and because an early start helped us find something to eat. My parents were with us and he was really kind and helped where there were difficult steps to take. He was patient and was really personable making our day all that much more memorable. Ayodhya is a growing city so there is lots of development but so t let that put you off. And thanks to Alok we want to come back in a few years when more has been developed.

Operator response

Thank you for your lovely feedback! Experiences like yours are exactly what we aim to create—thoughtful, smooth, and memorable. Alok will be truly encouraged by your words, and we’re glad Ayodhya left you with a reason to return. We hope to welcome you again in the future.

Wonderful Ayodhya tour in one day

Wow, this was amazing city and the arrangements made were superb. Skip the line passes arranged by Alok made us do Darshan faster and save our time. Nothing could be better than this when you wish to spend one day here. It allows you to see everything possible Ayodhya has in one day. Must recommend to all.

Amazing hospitality

Wow. Jai Shriram. Thank you Shivam for your amazing hospitality and arranging such a smooth Darshan. Evening aarti at Swarg Dwar was a surreal thing. Thanks for getting us the perfect spot, the view of aarti could not have been better.
