Pilgrimage Tours
Across India

Char Dham in Uttarakhand, the twelve Jyotirlingas, the Shakti Peethas, Somnath and Dwarka, Pushkar and Ajmer, the Tamil Nadu temple towns, Varanasi and the Ganga cities, the Buddhist circuit at Bodh Gaya, Sarnath and Nalanda, and Sikh pilgrimage to the Golden Temple at Amritsar. We also build combined and custom yatras.

The four Himalayan shrines open around Akshaya Tritiya in late April or early May and close near Diwali in October or November. Our full Char Dham itinerary runs twelve nights. May, June, September and October are the practical windows; July and August carry a real landslide risk in the Garhwal Himalaya.

Many are, with the right planning. We set the pace for the least mobile person in the party, build in acclimatisation days at altitude, and arrange palanquin, pony or porter support where the final approach is on foot. Some shrines are genuinely demanding, and we will say so plainly rather than sell you a circuit that will not go well.

Yes. Char Dham requires state registration and biometric checks, Kedarnath helicopter seats are separately allocated and sell out well in advance, and several Himalayan and North East routes need inner-line permits. We obtain these before you travel.

Yes. We arrange these journeys for travellers of every faith and of none. A small number of inner sanctums restrict entry to Hindus, which we flag clearly in the itinerary so nobody is turned away at the door, and everything else on the circuit remains open.

Yes. Satvik and vegetarian catering is arranged throughout where the journey calls for it, fasting days are accommodated, and we brief you in advance on the dress and conduct each shrine expects, including where cameras, leather and mobile phones are not permitted.

Our published pilgrimage journeys start at USD 333₹32,000EUR 294GBP 252 per person and run to USD 885₹85,000EUR 781GBP 669 depending on the circuit, the number of nights and whether helicopter or pony sectors are involved. Every price is per person, land only.

Uttarakhand Char Dham, at 12 nights. The shortest published pilgrimage is 4 nights.

Yes, with planning. We build in rest days at altitude, arrange palki, pony or helicopter sectors where a trek is involved, and keep the day’s driving short. Tell us about mobility at the enquiry stage and the itinerary is written around it.

We arrange whatever the temple itself permits — puja bookings, special darshan where an official channel exists, and the timings that keep queues manageable. We do not sell ‘VIP darshan’ at temples where no official route for it exists.

Yes. Pure vegetarian, Jain and sattvik requirements are all routine on our pilgrimage circuits, and we confirm them with every property in advance.

The Char Dham and Hemkund Sahib shrines open in late April or May and close for winter around Diwali, with exact dates announced each year by the temple committees. The monsoon months of July and August carry landslide risk on the mountain roads.

Often, and naturally. Varanasi pairs with Sarnath, Puri with Konark, Amritsar with the Wagah border, and Madurai with the wider Tamil temple country.

For the Char Dham and for festival dates, three to four months ahead. Hotel capacity near the shrines is small and helicopter seats sell out first.
