Overview

Tour overview

Quick answer

The Janakpur tour package is a 3 nights / 4 days trip covering Dhanushadham, starting and ending in Janakpur. It suits ram–Sita devotees, Mithila culture. The best time for Janakpur is October–March; Vivah Panchami and Ram Navami for festivals. The cost is quoted in writing for your dates.

Janakpur in Nepal's Madhesh plains is the birthplace of Sita and the place of her wedding to Shri Ram. This 3 nights / 4 days plan covers the marble Janaki Mandir, Ram Mandir, the Vivah Mandap, the sacred ponds of the town and Dhanushadham, where the bow of Shiva is said to have fallen.

From Gorakhpur the drive is long, so we suggest the train to Jaynagar and a short crossing, or the road via Raxaul and Birgunj. During Vivah Panchami in November–December the town celebrates the divine wedding and hotels fill months ahead.

A Janakpur yatra centres on Janaki Mandir, the temple at the Sita birthplace, and the places linked to the wedding of Ram and Sita.

Tour highlights

  • Janaki Mandir aarti in the evening
  • Vivah Mandap and Ram Mandir
  • Dhanushadham, 18 km from town
  • Mithila painting in local homes
