Our pilgrimage tours run 3 to 6 days, with starting prices from ₹4,499 to ₹28,999 per person depending on distance and duration. The Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra circuits — Dharmasthala–Sringeri–Horanadu–Kukke, Kollur–Sigandur–Kateel, Mantralayam–Srisailam, Kanchipuram–Vellore–Chidambaram, the Ranga temples and Tiruvannamalai — start from Bengaluru. The longer yatras begin at the destination: Trichy, Madurai, Bhubaneswar, Cochin, and Mumbai or Pune for Shirdi and Nashik. Each package page states its own start point, and transport from Bengaluru can be quoted separately.

How these are planned

Planned Around Darshan, Not Just Distance

Routing built around temple timings

Days are sequenced so you reach each temple within darshan hours rather than arriving to a closed sanctum.

Pacing for older travellers

Most circuits keep driving hours moderate with halts en route. Some involve steps or long walks, and we tell you which before you book.

Stays near the temple towns

Accommodation is chosen close to the temple where that is practical, so early-morning darshan is easier.

Transport coordinated end to end

A private vehicle with a driver covers the full circuit, including en-route halts, with the vehicle matched to group size.

FAQs

Pilgrimage Tour Questions

Are these tours suitable for senior citizens?

Many are — driving hours are moderate and stays are near the temple towns. But some circuits involve steps, hill climbs or long queues. Tell us who is travelling and we will say which packages suit and which do not.

Are temple visits part of the itinerary?

Yes. The temples are listed day by day on each package page. Darshan timings and any special arrangements are set by the temple and are not controlled by us.

Do you arrange special or VIP darshan?

We do not promise it. Special-entry arrangements are controlled by each temple and change without notice, so we only confirm what is genuinely available for your dates at the time of booking.

Are meals included?

Meal plans differ by package. The inclusions and exclusions on each package page state which meals are covered, and the same appears in your quotation.

Can transport be arranged from Bengaluru for a circuit that starts elsewhere?

Yes, that can be quoted separately. We also arrange car and coach rentals independently of the packages.

Can a family or group book the whole vehicle?

Yes. Tell us the group size and we will match the vehicle — sedan, MPV, tempo traveller or coach — and re-quote.

Planning around fixed dates? See our scheduled fixed departure group tours, browse all domestic tour packages, or arrange a vehicle through car and coach rentals. You can also send us an enquiry.

Planning a Yatra?

Tell us the circuit, your dates and who is travelling. We will confirm what is workable and send inclusions and pricing in writing.
