Varanasi to Ayodhya Tempo Traveller Price List | Ram Mandir Tour (2026)

Travelling alone or as a couple? Join our Sunday Ayodhya shared tour — ₹1,799 per person. Same-day return with Varanasi pickup and drop at Ravindrapuri — Kinaram Ashram, Natraj, or Varanasi Cantt. See available dates and departure-confirmation terms on the shared-tour page. The charter fares below are for a whole vehicle.

TL;DR: Varanasi to Ayodhya tempo traveller starts from ₹9,400 one-way (₹10,800 same-day round trip) for a 12 seater and ₹10,200 one-way (₹12,400 round trip) for a 17 seater, with driver, fuel, and highway tolls included.

The road distance is about 200 km each way and most groups should allow 4–5 hours per side. A 5:00 AM pickup gives the best chance of completing Ram Mandir and Hanuman Garhi darshan before returning to Varanasi the same day.

If your group is planning Ram Mandir darshan from Varanasi and you need the group-vehicle price first, this is the right page. It is built for families, senior pilgrims, temple committees, and friend groups who want one vehicle, one fare, and one clear Ayodhya schedule.

If you need a general road-guide, train-vs-cab comparison, or sedan taxi fare instead, use our Varanasi to Ayodhya route and taxi guide.

If your group needs hotel-inclusive pilgrimage planning instead of just vehicle pricing, use:

• Varanasi Group Tour Package
• Ayodhya Varanasi Prayagraj Group Tour Package

12-Seater Tempo Traveller Seat Map & Family Logistics

For family groups of 8 to 11 pilgrims traveling with senior citizens, the 12-seater Maharaja configuration is the most requested format:

[Driver] [Navigator Seat]
Row 1: 2 seats (window + aisle)
Row 2: 3 seats (elders recommended — lowest road vibration)
Row 3: 3 seats (spacious legroom)
Row 4: 3 seats + rear boot bay

Key 12-Seater Operational Highlights:

• Plush Pushback Seats: 135° recline with headrests and armrests for resting during early-morning and late-night highway stretches.
• Luggage & Prasad Storage: The rear boot bay fits 5–6 medium trolley suitcases plus temple prasad boxes. An optional heavy-duty waterproof roof carrier (₹300) can be added for groups carrying extra luggage.
• Elderly Seating Strategy: We advise seating senior citizens in Rows 2 and 3 directly behind the front axle where highway sway and suspension bounce over Purvanchal expansion joints are minimal.
• Compact Manoeuvrability: Unlike larger 26-seater mini-coaches, the 12-seater easily reaches residential colony gates and hotel pickups in Varanasi's narrower approach lanes.

Ayodhya Commercial Parking & Luggage Custody Logistics

To manage high pilgrimage volume, Ayodhya traffic police require all commercial tempo travellers and buses to park at designated facility bays:

• Designated Parking Bay (Naya Ghat / Saket Bay / Ramkatha Park): Commercial passenger vehicles cannot enter Rampath or Bhakti Path directly. Your driver parks at the official high-capacity parking bay located approximately 1.2 km from the temple precinct.
• Complimentary E-Cart Transit for Seniors: Free government battery golf carts and frequent ₹10 e-rickshaws connect the parking area directly to Lata Mangeshkar Chowk and Ram Janmabhoomi Gate No. 11.
• Driver Luggage & Phone Custody Guarantee: Because mobile phones, smartwatches, leather belts, and bags are strictly forbidden inside Ram Janmabhoomi (with locker queues taking 60–90 minutes during rush hours), your dedicated Kashi Taxi driver remains on active duty with your locked AC tempo traveller throughout your darshan. You can safely leave all mobile phones, bags, and shoes inside the vehicle without waiting in locker lines.

Who Should Use This Guide

This guide is for you if:

• your main question is tempo traveller price
• you need a 12 seater or 17 seater for Ayodhya
• you are traveling as one group and want everyone in the same vehicle
• you want a Ram Mandir day trip from Varanasi without juggling multiple cabs

You may prefer a different guide if:

• you need only a sedan or Innova fare
• you are comparing train vs taxi
• you want a broad route guide first

For those cases, use Varanasi to Ayodhya distance, taxi fare and travel options.

Ayodhya Day Trip Timing From Varanasi

Most groups prefer a same-day darshan plan like this:

Time	Plan	Notes
5:00 AM	Depart Varanasi	Early start protects darshan time and return comfort
9:30-10:00 AM	Arrive Ayodhya	Tea / washroom stop if needed
10:15-11:30 AM	Ram Mandir darshan	Keep ID and darshan QR ready if applicable
11:45 AM-12:30 PM	Hanuman Garhi	Seniors should take the stairs slowly
12:45-1:45 PM	Lunch break	Clean vegetarian stop
2:00-2:45 PM	Kanak Bhavan	Good fit after Ram Mandir
3:00-3:30 PM	Optional Dashrath Mahal / Sarayu halt	Depends on queue time
4:00 PM	Start return to Varanasi	Tea stop on the way
8:30-9:30 PM	Reach Varanasi	Traffic dependent

Why Groups Prefer Tempo Traveller For Ayodhya

• One vehicle, one schedule: no split arrivals, no separate parking issues
• Easier for elders: higher seating position, easier rest-stop planning, and everyone moves together
• Better luggage handling: room for bags, prasad, shawls and temple essentials
• Per-head economics improve quickly: once the vehicle is near full, the fare becomes efficient for family groups
• Ram Mandir trips are easier to coordinate: a single driver can manage pickup, halts and return timing cleanly

Practical Booking Notes

Before booking, send these details on WhatsApp:

• travel date
• group size
• whether you need 12 seater or 17 seater
• pickup point in Varanasi
• whether seniors or children are traveling
• whether the plan is same-day return or extended

This helps us confirm the correct seat size and trip window instead of forcing a generic quote.

When To Choose Taxi Instead Of Tempo Traveller

Book a taxi instead when:

• you are only 2-6 passengers
• you want a one-way drop more than a group pilgrimage
• you are comparing train vs road first

For that use case, go to Varanasi to Ayodhya route and taxi fare guide.
