Pilgrimage Tour Package

Pilgrimage is the holy journey that you can undertake to get in touch with your spiritual side or to gain the blessings of the God or Goddess that you believe in. There are plenty of pilgrimage tour packages available here that can be the best way for you to understand where and when to visit a certain temple, gurudwara, mosque or church.
As part of every religion, there are certain specific places of worship that should be visited in order to get a better after life, or in order to do penance for any sin committed throughout your life.

When deciding on your pilgrimage packages, the best thing to do is to decide on which religious spots you want to visit, and in which order so that it becomes easy for you to find the right itinerary for you. Some of the biggest pilgrimage spots of India are:

  • Sabarimala in Kerala: The Sabarimala temple in Kerala, opening for only 2 months, witnesses over 30 million pilgrims coming to seek the blessings of the Lord Ayappa. The path to the temple is strenuous and there are plenty of rules to be followed, starting from clothing to offerings. One curious rule here is that women of menstruating age cannot enter the temple premises, since they might cause Lord Ayappa to be distracted. With the new Supreme Court directives coming in banishing the above rule, the number of pilgrims to the temple are expected to rise.
  • Amarnath in Kashmir: Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Amarnath Cave in Kashmir is a must visit for those looking to seek the Lord’s blessings. The lingam here is formed naturally every year from the water that steadily drips into the cave, thereby being considered a miracle. The trek to this place is strenuous, but one look at the pure white ice lingam will take away all your troubles.
  • Vaishno Devi in Jammu: The Vaishno Devi Temple in Jammu is a major pilgrimage spot, attracting thousands of devotees in a day. The trek up to the summit, where the actual temples are is one that can be done comfortably, and while enjoying some gorgeous views.
  • Ajmer Sharif in Ajmer: A dargah that people of all religions can visit, be it a Hindu, a Mualim, a Christian or so on. Ajmer Sharif, the tomb of Moinuddin Chisti, is a place full of mysticism, aromatic incense and melodious Sufi music. The serenity is such that you are sure to lose and then find yourself here.
  • Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh: A must visit pilgrimage spot for people in the southern part of the country, Tirupati is one of the most affluent temples in the world. People don’t just donate money and gold here, but also donate their hair when asking for a wish to come true.
  • Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain: One of the 12 important jyotirlingas, the Mahakaleshwar Temple, located in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, is a must visit. Perched on the banks of the Rudra Sagar lake, the temple is home to several festivals and ceremonies that a devout Hindu mustn't miss.
  • Sri Jagannath Temple in Puri: Another temple where the mysticism is high, as is the religious fervor. Apart from the annual rath yatra, the temple attracts plenty of pilgrims throughout the year who want to seek the blessings of Lord Jagannath.

I recently had the most wonderful holiday in Goa with Travel On Ease, and I cannot thank Kewal and Poonam enough for making the trip so memorable. From the very beginning, the planning was smooth and hassle-free. They patiently listened to my requirements, understood exactly what kind of holiday experience I was looking for, and tailored the package accordingly. Everything was well-organized, right from the hotel bookings to local transfers and curated sightseeing. The choice of accommodation was excellent—comfortable, clean, and close to the beach, which made the whole experience even better. What impressed me most was the personal attention and care throughout the trip. Kewal kept checking in to ensure everything was going smoothly, while Poonam made sure that even the smallest details, like food preferences and activity timings, were taken care of. The trip had the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Whether it was exploring Goa’s vibrant culture, enjoying the nightlife, or relaxing by the sea, every moment was well-planned and thoroughly enjoyable. I truly felt stress-free, which is exactly what you want on a holiday. Travel On Ease made me feel like more than just a customer—they treated me like family.

In India, there are entire cities that are considered holy and religious, and simply visiting them is akin to being on a pilgrimage of sorts. The best part about visiting these cities is that most of them are not just simple pilgrimage spots, but are also beautiful places on their own accord. Visiting them don’t just help you get close to getting divine blessings, but also helps you enjoy a relaxing trip with gorgeous views all around. Some of these beautiful pilgrimage cities include the likes of:

Varanasi: Varanasi is one of the holiest of cities, as far as Hindu mythology goes. With the pious Ganga running through the city, it is said that there can be no purer places than this. It also helps that the city has a beautiful vibe all of its own, thereby giving you something apart from religious activities to enjoy. Having said that, the evening aarti here on the banks of the river is something that has to be seen to be believed.

Haridwar: The holy Ganga makes its way through this city as well, and it becomes awash with a feeling of religious fervor and activities. People visit Haridwar to feel as if they are closer to God, since the Himalayas, where the Ganga originated, is closeby. Spending time by the river bank is another great way to enjoy a relaxing evening, if you have been visiting temples all day.

Allahabad: The holy city where the triad of holy rivers, Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati meet - Triveni Sangam. The Maha Kumbh Mela, which witnesses the biggest gathering of Hindu devotees, is held here, attracting more than 100 million pilgrims at a time.

Shirdi: The place where Sai baba is said to have lived and showered his blessings is Shirdi, and it attracts thousands of devotees every day who come to bask in the reflected glory of the saint.

Shravanabelagola: One of the rare Jain pilgrimage spots of India, Shravanabelagola is a simple city just like the religion and its followers. The subtle spirituality and the sky high Lord Gomateshwara monolith is what makes this city a must visit, even for non-followers.

Sarnath: One of the holiest cities for Buddhists and Jains, Sarnath is where most of their pilgrimage spots are. Be it excavated ancient sites related to age old Buddisht texts, stupas, museums or architectural marvels.

Mathura: Also known as the hometown of Lord Krishna, Mathura is where people head to when looking for the Shri Krishna Janmabhumi prison, and where he returned to kill Ashura Kansa. There are hundreds of small temples strewn all over the city, and it is quite possible that you might get tired visiting them all.
