Janakpur is a major pilgrimage and cultural city in Nepal, revered as the birthplace of Sita and home to the ornate Janaki Temple. It suits Indian travellers seeking Hindu heritage, festivals, Mithila art and an easy cross-border experience. October to April offers the most comfortable conditions, with clearer skies and warm days; October can still bring occasional showers. Most visitors arrive by flight from Kathmandu to Janakpur Airport, or travel overland from India via the Jayanagar–Janakpur rail and road corridor.
October is warm and generally clearer after the monsoon, though brief showers remain possible. Major festivals can make temples and transport especially busy.
