Discover Janakpur – The Sacred City of the Ramayana

Janakpur isn't just a destination; it's an experience for the soul and senses. As the birthplace of Goddess Sita and the site of her divine marriage to Lord Ram, this ancient city pulses with spiritual energy and timeless mythology.

A Living Pilgrimage: Walk in the footsteps of legends. Janakpur is one of Hinduism's most important pilgrimage sites, drawing devotees from across the globe to its hallowed temples and sacred ponds.
A Canvas of Culture: Immerse yourself in the world of *Mithila Art*. Janakpur is the cultural epicenter of this vibrant, geometric, and storytelling art form, found on walls, handicrafts, and in the daily life of its people.
Festivals of Faith: Time your visit with *Vivaha Panchami* (the grand re-enactment of Ram and Sita's wedding) or *Ram Navami*, and witness the city transform into a spectacle of devotion, colorful processions, and joyous celebration.
An Authentic Nepal: Beyond the mountains, experience the warmth, tradition, and exquisite cuisine of Nepal's Terai plains. Janakpur offers a uniquely cultural and spiritual dimension to your Nepalese adventure.
