Most travellers leave Varanasi early morning to reach Ayodhya with enough daylight for Ram Mandir darshan, which can involve queues and security checks. A round trip with a same-day return is possible but long; an overnight stay in Ayodhya is more comfortable if darshan timing runs late. Confirm toll charges, driver allowance for an overnight halt, and pickup point in Varanasi when you book.
