Lucknow to Ayodhya: A Modern Gateway to Ancient Peace
With the completion of the new expressways and the widening of the NH27, the journey from Lucknow (the capital of UP) to Ayodhya (the soul of UP) has become a smooth 2.5-hour breeze. Whether you are arriving at the Lucknow airport or the railway station, here is how to plan your intercity transfer.
The Route and Distance
The distance is approximately 135 km. The 4-lane national highway is well-maintained with multiple food plazas and fuel stations. Most travelers prefer a private taxi for this route as it offers doorstep-to-doorstep convenience.
Booking One-Way Cabs
If you don't plan to return to Lucknow the same day, don't pay for the return fare. Our One-Way Taxi from Lucknow to Ayodhya is the most economical option. We offer fixed rates inclusive of tolls and taxes, so there are no surprises midway.
Arrival at Lucknow Airport (LKO)
The Amausi Airport in Lucknow serves as the primary gateway for many international tourists. Our Airport Transfer Service can pick you up directly from LKO and drop you in Ayodhya. For group travel, we recommend our Tempo Traveller service which is much more comfortable for the 3-hour journey.
Sightseeing Options in Lucknow
If you have a few hours in Lucknow, don't miss the Bara Imambara and British Residency. Our UP Tour and Travels can create a combined Lucknow-Ayodhya-Varanasi itinerary for you, covering the best of state capitals and spiritual hubs.
