Janakpur: Sacred Sites and Mithila Culture — 1 Day
A single-day pilgrimage to the birthplace of Sita and the wedding venue of Rama and Sita, with visits to temples, museums, and Mithila cultural landmarks
Janakpur, located 225 kilometers southwest of Kathmandu, holds significance in Hindu tradition as the birthplace of Sita Devi and the site where Lord Rama and Sita were married. The city anchors Mithila culture, a region with deep roots in the Ramayana narrative.

The itinerary returns to Kathmandu the same evening.
