The heart of the yatra

From Shatrunjaya to Sammed Shikharji — a tirth yatra arranged with care

Whether you have two days for the dawn climb at Palitana or a fortnight across the great tirthas of Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka and Jharkhand, we handle the details that matter on a yatra — stays close to the temple foot, a doli (palanquin) for elders on the hill, help with vidhi and darshan customs, and an unhurried, ahimsa-minded pace. You simply travel and pray; we look after the rest.

Holiest Śvetāmbara tirth

Shatrunjaya · Palitana

Palitana, GujaratSome 865 marble temples crown Shatrunjaya hill, reached by around 3,750 steps and led by the Adishwar (Adinatha) temple. Pilgrims climb at dawn and descend by evening, as none may stay on the sacred hill overnight.
Holiest tirth · Moksha bhoomi

Sammed Shikharji

Parasnath, JharkhandThe most revered Jain tirth, where twenty of the twenty-four Tirthankaras attained moksha. The parikrama winds over Parasnath Hill — the highest peak in Jharkhand — past shrine after shrine (tonk).
Digambara colossus

Gomateshwara · Shravanabelagola

Hassan, KarnatakaThe 57-foot monolithic statue of Bahubali (Gomateshwara) on Vindhyagiri hill — carved around 981 CE and anointed at the great Mahamastakabhisheka every twelve years.
Marble masterpiece

Ranakpur

Pali, RajasthanThe 15th-century Chaumukha temple to Adinatha, upheld by 1,444 intricately carved marble pillars — no two alike — set in the Aravalli hills near Udaipur.
Carving beyond compare

Dilwara

Mount Abu, RajasthanFive marble temples of the 11th–13th centuries — the Vimal Vasahi and Luna Vasahi above all — whose translucent, lace-fine marble carving is among the finest in the world.
Hill of Neminatha

Girnar

Junagadh, GujaratAn ancient cluster of temples high on Girnar, sacred to Neminatha (the 22nd Tirthankara), reached by a long, storied flight of stone steps.

We also weave in Pavapuri and Champapuri in Bihar, Mangi-Tungi in Maharashtra, Kulpakji in Telangana, and the Rajasthan tirthas of Nakoda and Mahavirji — and can shape a route for both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions.

When to travel

Timing your yatra

The temple hills

October to March is most comfortable for the climbs at Palitana, Girnar, Shravanabelagola and Shikharji — cool mornings ideal for the ascent. Summers are hot; the monsoon makes the steps slippery.

Palitana & Chaturmas

Through the four monsoon months of Chaturmas the Shatrunjaya temples observe a quiet period; we plan Palitana for the clear season and around Kartik Purnima in November.

Special occasions

Mahavir Jayanti (March–April) and the days of Paryushan and Das Lakshana (August–September) are deeply meaningful — we plan early, as the tirthas are busy.

What it costs

What does a Jain pilgrimage tour cost?

Every yatra is custom-quoted per person and depends on your route, season, hotel choice and group size. As a guide, a private 2–3 day Palitana yatra typically starts from around ₹12,000–18,000 per person, a 5–7 day Gujarat or Rajasthan tirth circuit from around ₹22,000–38,000, and the pan-India Sammed Shikharji yatra (with flights) is quoted individually. Every trip comes with a clear GST invoice and no hidden charges.

Good to know

Jain pilgrimage — frequently asked questions

Which Jain pilgrimage sites do you cover?
Shatrunjaya at Palitana and Girnar in Gujarat, Sammed Shikharji (Parasnath) in Jharkhand, Shravanabelagola in Karnataka, Ranakpur and Dilwara (Mount Abu) in Rajasthan, and tirthas such as Pavapuri and Champapuri in Bihar, Mangi-Tungi in Maharashtra, Kulpakji in Telangana, and Nakoda and Mahavirji in Rajasthan — for both Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions.
How many days do I need for Palitana?
Two to three days is comfortable for Palitana — an early-morning climb up Shatrunjaya for darshan at the Adishwar temple, time in the temple town, and rest, with a doli arranged for those who prefer not to walk the steps.
Can elderly pilgrims manage the hill climbs?
Yes. On Shatrunjaya, Girnar and other hills we arrange a doli (palanquin carried by bearers) and plan a slow, well-rested pace, so elders can have darshan in comfort.
Can you cover Sammed Shikharji in one journey?
Yes. Our Sammed Shikharji Grand Yatra covers the moksha-bhoomi parikrama over Parasnath Hill, and can be joined with Pavapuri and Champapuri in Bihar over about ten to fourteen days, with flights between regions to keep it gentle.
Do you arrange pure Jain food?
Yes. We arrange pure vegetarian and Jain-friendly dining — without root vegetables and prepared to your customs — and can plan around fasting days and Chaturmas observances.
Are the tours fully private?
Yes — your own chauffeur-driven car, handpicked hotels and dharamshalas, and dedicated travel support, never shared with strangers, and paced entirely to your family.
When is the best time to go?
October to March is the most comfortable season for the temple hills. Palitana observes a quiet period through the monsoon months of Chaturmas, so we plan it for the clear season and around Kartik Purnima in November.
How much does a Jain pilgrimage tour cost?
Every yatra is custom-quoted per person and depends on route, season, hotels and group size. Share your dates and we send a tailored itinerary and quote — with a clear GST invoice and no hidden charges.
