Chitrakoot Tour Package: The Forest of Lord Ram

Nestled deep within the northern Vindhya ranges of Bundelkhand, Chitrakoot is highly revered in the Ramayana as the serene forest where Lord Ram, Sita, and Lakshman spent eleven and a half years of their exile. Located roughly 230 kilometers from Varanasi, it has become a central piece of the larger Ayodhya-Kashi spiritual circuit.

Key Darshan Points in Chitrakoot

  • Ramghat: The central ghat sitting upon the calm Mandakini river. It is completely filled with chanting sadhus and serves as the primary spot for an evening boat ride and Aarti.
  • Gupt Godavari: A fascinating pair of natural cave systems where the Godavari river mysteriously emerges from the rocks and disappears underground within the cave itself. You have to walk waist-deep in water through sections of it.
  • Kamadgiri Parikrama: A highly sacred 5-kilometer circumambulation path circling the forested hill where Lord Ram originally resided.

Booking Your Trip:

Due to the distance and the spread-out nature of Chitrakoot's attractions across the UP-MP border, booking a multi-day AC Cab package from Big Cab ensures you can cover all points without rushing or relying on disparate local auto transports.
