Ayodhya is the birthplace of Lord Ram and a holy city where devotees come from all cities of India. The drive along the Mathura to Ayodhya route passes through Agra, Etawah, Kanpur and Lucknow before one reaches the sacred city. On the way, tourists are able to view historic monuments, traditional bazaars, and sample local cuisine. The journey is lengthy but well worth it since each stopover contributes to a new experience. Pilgrims opt for booking cabs, buses or tempo travellers for safety and convenience. With careful planning, rest stops, and the appropriate means of travel, this road journey is not only travel but a pilgrim journey in which religion, culture and history all come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 ez-toc-wrap-center counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Mathura_to_Ayodhya_Distance\" >Mathura to Ayodhya Distance<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Mathura_to_Ayodhya_Route\" >Mathura to Ayodhya Route<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#How_to_Travel_to_Ayodhya_from_Mathura\" >How to Travel to Ayodhya from Mathura<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Mathura_to_Ayodhya_by_Train\" >Mathura to Ayodhya by Train<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Mathura_to_Ayodhya_by_Flight\" >Mathura to Ayodhya by Flight<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Mathura_to_Ayodhya_by_Bus\" >Mathura to Ayodhya by Bus<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Top_Destinations_to_See_on_Mathura_to_Ayodhya_Road_Trip\" >Top Destinations to See on Mathura to Ayodhya Road Trip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Best_Time_to_Visit_Ayodhya\" >Best Time to Visit Ayodhya<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Places_to_Eat_on_Mathura_to_Ayodhya_Road_Trip\" >Places to Eat on Mathura to Ayodhya Road Trip<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Book_Mathura_to_Ayodhya_Taxi_Services_at_the_Best_Price\" >Book Mathura to Ayodhya Taxi Services at the Best Price<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mathuravrindavantourpackages.com\/blog\/mathura-to-ayodhya-road-trip\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mathura_to_Ayodhya_Distance\"><\/span>Mathura to Ayodhya Distance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mathura to Ayodhya distance is approximately 520 km via road. The journey takes 9 to 10 hours based on traffic and road conditions. Owing to the fact that the journey is a long one, travelers typically halt at Agra, Kanpur, or Lucknow before arriving at Ayodhya. Halting the journey makes it more comfortable and allows time to visit the popular cities en route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mathura_to_Ayodhya_Route\"><\/span>Mathura to Ayodhya Route<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mathura \u2192 Agra \u2192 Etawah \u2192 Kanpur \u2192 Lucknow \u2192 Ayodhya<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the preferred and most convenient route. The drive is along the Yamuna Expressway and Lucknow Expressway, which are smooth and well paved. Petrol stations, restaurants and rest stops are present all along, making it family and group friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Travel_to_Ayodhya_from_Mathura\"><\/span>How to Travel to Ayodhya from Mathura<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ayodhya is accessible by road, train and flight.
