Visitors to Ayodhya are set to be greeted with convenient amenities right at the city's entrance gates. Six major gateways – Shri Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, Hanuman, Garuda, and Jatayu – are being developed into gate complexes.
These six main entry points will house tourist facilitation centres, providing amenities such as dining, lodging, and parking. According to the Tourism Department's plan, a tourist facilitation center will be built on 5.76 hectares of land near the Jatayu Gate on Ambedkar Nagar Road.
Similar centers will be constructed near the other gates: Shri Ram Gate (Lucknow Road, 4.91 hectares), Lakshman Gate (Gonda Road, 4.5 hectares), Bharat Gate (Sultanpur Road, 2.04 hectares), Hanuman Gate (Gorakhpur Road, 3.59 hectares), and Garuda Gate (Raebareli Road, 4.98 hectares).
These centers will feature three-star, two-star, and budget hotels, along with tourist lodges, tourism offices, and art & craft galleries. Amenities like food courts, cafeterias, restaurants, amphitheaters, multi-level parking, green spaces, open pavilions, and restroom facilities will also be provided.
Petrol and CNG pumps, as well as EV charging stations, will be added. These conveniently located centers near the entrance gates will enhance the experience for pilgrims and tourists visiting Ayodhya.
