12 Jyotirlings Yatra

Darshan at Nageshwar Jyotirlinga near Dwarka, followed by the Dwarkadhish temple. Overnight at Dwarka.

After morning prayers at Dwarka, begin the scenic journey toward Madhya Pradesh by comfortable AC coach / rail. Your travel manager handles all transit, meals and an overnight halt en route so you arrive in the temple city of Ujjain rested and ready for the sacred Bhasma Aarti the next dawn.

Attend the pre-dawn Bhasma Aarti (subject to booking) at Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga and visit Kal Bhairav and Harsiddhi temples.

Drive to the river-island shrine of Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga on the sacred Narmada for darshan and a boat crossing.

Travel to the holy town of Nashik for darshan at Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga, set at the foot of the Brahmagiri hills from which the sacred Godavari river rises. This unique shrine, with its three-faced lingam representing Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, is among the most revered of all twelve, and time is allowed for a peaceful temple-tank visit.

Proceed to Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga, the last of the twelve, an exquisitely carved temple near Aurangabad. With its proximity to the magnificent rock-cut UNESCO Ellora Caves, an optional heritage stop lets you marvel at the colossal Kailasa temple hewn from a single rock — a fitting blend of devotion and artistry.

Journey through the lush, forested Sahyadri ranges to Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga, dramatically set within a wildlife sanctuary that is the source of the Bhima river. The cool, green Western Ghats setting and the ancient Nagara-style temple make this one of the most serene and scenic stops on the parikrama.

A long, scenic transfer toward the Nallamala forest hills of Andhra Pradesh, descending through the Deccan plateau. Comfortable transport, en-route meals and a restful overnight halt are arranged so the journey itself becomes part of the pilgrimage's quiet contemplation.

Darshan at Mallikarjuna Jyotirlinga on the banks of the Krishna — both a Jyotirlinga and a Shakti Peeth.

Proceed to the holy island of Rameswaram for darshan at the Ramanathaswamy Temple and its 22 sacred wells.

Transfer toward the eternal city of Varanasi by scheduled rail / flight for the northern Jyotirlingas. On arrival, settle into your riverside hotel and take in the timeless atmosphere of the ghats, with the evening free to rest before tomorrow's darshan.

Darshan at Kashi Vishwanath via the new corridor and the evening Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat.

Travel to Deoghar for darshan at Baidyanath (Vaidyanath) Jyotirlinga. Note: Kedarnath darshan is arranged seasonally as a guided extension.

A final morning of prayers and prasad before your transfer for the onward journey, your 12 Jyotirlinga parikrama complete.
