A fee of Rs 4130 per person has been fixed for aerial darshan of Ram Temple.
This service will be launched soon by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Whereas in the next phase, there are preparations to start helicopter service from Ayodhya to Prayagraj, Gorakhpur to Ayodhya, Lucknow to Ayodhya, Agra and Mathura also to Ayodhya.
