Why Does Janaki Mandir Capture Hearts Across Borders As the sun rises over Nepal’s Terai plains, the white marble façade of Janaki Mandir glows softly against the pastel sky.

Frequently Asked Questions

The biggest differences are space, AC quality, and overall comfort. Deluxe rooms are compact yet budget-friendly, offering a range of essential amenities. Super Deluxe rooms are larger, have stronger split ACs (better for Janakpur’s summer heat), have improved bedding, have quieter interiors, and often come with a proper work desk. If comfort or longer stays matter to you, the Super Deluxe upgrade is noticeable.
Yes, if you’re staying more than 2 nights, traveling for business, visiting during April–September, or need a quiet, spacious room. The Super Deluxe rooms at Hotel Sitasharan offer better AC performance, more space, improved bedding, quieter environments, and a work-friendly layout. For short stays or budget travel, the Deluxe room is usually enough.
A Super Deluxe room is strongly recommended in the summer. Janakpur often reaches 35–40°C, and Deluxe rooms usually have window ACs that struggle in extreme heat. Super Deluxe rooms typically include powerful split ACs that cool faster, stay consistent, and help you sleep comfortably at night.
If you are visiting for 1–2 days, the Deluxe room offers excellent value with clean, well-maintained, and comfortable accommodations for short religious trips. However, you can choose the Super Deluxe option if you’re traveling with elderly family members, during festival seasons, or visiting in the summer.
Business travelers should book a Super Deluxe room because it offers a proper work desk, better WiFi stability, a quieter environment, and also more space for luggage, documents, and work essentials. The productivity boost easily justifies the extra cost, especially on 2–5 day work trips.
At most 3-star hotels in Janakpur, including Hotel Sitasharan, the price difference is usually NPR 2,000–4,500 per night, depending on the season. If it's for a short stay (1 night), then Deluxe is enough. Super Deluxe provides much better value for 3+ nights. Festival seasons also mean you should book Super Deluxe for noise control & comfort. And Super Deluxe is still the better choice in summer purely for AC performance.
