Plan your trip around the right season
Why visit
Cool mornings and evenings make Sarayu ghat walks and Ram Janmabhoomi visits comfortable. Deepotsav in November is spectacular - the entire riverfront is lit up.
Keep in mind
Ram Navami and major temple events bring very large crowds. Hotels and trains book out weeks ahead.

Surroundings turn green. Shravan month has a good religious atmosphere.
