Follow in the footsteps of Lord Rama, Mata Sita, and Lakshmana during their exile in the holy hills of Chitrakoot.
Chitrakoot ('the hill of many wonders') is the sacred forest haven where Lord Rama, Sita Mata, and Lakshmana spent eleven and a half years of their fourteen-year exile. Situated in the serene Vindhya mountain range just 130 km from Prayagraj, this tour provides private AC transportation, experienced drivers, and comprehensive shrine visits.
Morning pickup from your hotel or Prayagraj Junction in a comfortable private AC Sedan or Innova Crysta. Drive along National Highway NH35 across the peaceful Bundelkhand countryside, crossing the Yamuna and Paisuni rivers.
Arrive at the famous Ramghat on the banks of the sacred Mandakini River, where saint Goswami Tulsidas had the divine vision of Lord Rama. Devotees take holy snan, offer prayers at the stepped ghats, and take a peaceful wooden boat ride along the river.
Perform the 5 km holy circumambulation (Parikrama) of Kamadgiri Mountain, the original Chitrakoot hill believed to grant all auspicious wishes. Next, visit Sphatik Shila, a reddish boulder where Lord Rama and Sita sat and where Jayanta (son of Indra) pecked at Sita's feet in crow form.
Explore the natural geological wonder of Gupt Godavari—two ancient limestone caves with knee-deep flowing spring water. Proceed through the dense forest to Sati Anusuya Ashram. Conclude at Hanuman Dhara, where a natural mountain spring cascades over the idol of Lord Hanuman (ropeway available for senior citizens).
Witness the evening Mandakini Deep Daan Aarti at Ramghat with ringing temple bells. Board your private cab for the return drive to Prayagraj, arriving by 08:30 PM at your hotel or railway station. (2-Day option with night stay in Chitrakoot also available upon request).
