Temple Tour Package

Temples have always been the place where one can spend some time looking for as well as finding solace away from the hustle bustle of city life. Being one of the oldest civilizations of the world, it is no big surprise that there are plenty of religions here, and all of them have their own temples and places of worship.
With the hindu population in India being high, there are thousands of temples in the country, each with distinct architecture, different idols to worship, a host of different rituals and lots of devotion. Find and book some of the best temple tour packages for a great experience among

Most of these temples are dedicated to some form of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, the three supreme Gods of hindu mythology, although there is just a couple of Brahma temples in the country. A lot of temples are also dedicated to a female supreme power, Goddess Parvati, Kali, Laxmi or Saraswati, or a different avatar of these goddesses. The legends and mythological stories that go along with the establishment of every temple is an added bonus for people visiting them. Here are a few temples to cover when booking temple tour packages in India:

Maa Vaishno Devi Temple: As part of any well planned temple package, a visit to this temple is imperative at least once in your life time. Located in Jammu, this temple is located on the summit of a hill. Pilgrims need to travel at least 13 kms to reach the temple, from the bottom of the hill. Earlier people had to either walk all the way, or hire a pony to take them to the summit, but these days you can also get a seat on rent on chartered helicopters to land right on the summit.

Kedarnath Temple: There are 12 Jyotirlingas in India, the fabled abodes of Lord Shiva. The one at Kedarnath Temple in Uttarakhand is fabled to be the one at the highest elevation, and thus is quite difficult to get to. It is part of the famous chaar dham yatra, and for most Hindus it is imperative to visit. The temple is believed to have been built by the Pandavas, after which it was rebuilt by Adi Shankaracharya. Despite the flash floods that Uttarakahnd witnessed a few years ago, the temple remained intact with very little damage.

Kashi Vishwanath Temple: The Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi is another temple that is sure to be part of your temple tour packages. This temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva, and is another of the important jyotirlingas in India.

Somnath Temple: Another temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, the Somnath Temple in Gujarat offers pilgrims not just a chance to revel in the glory of their own faith, but lets them enjoy beautiful views of the Arabian Sea. The temple is located on the Arabian Sea shore, and offers other attractions as well as such as a Sound and Light Show and the Somnath Museum.

Rameshwaram Temple: As part of well planned temple tour packages in India, a visit to the Rameshwaram Temple is imperative. Located in Tamil Nadu, this temple is dedicated to Lord Rama. It is said that Rama landed on these shores, with Sita, after defeating Ravana. Rama wanted to atone for killing Ravana, a brahmin, and thus prayed to Lord Shiva for forgiveness.

Ravish Kumar

Hyderabad

Ravish's 6 days trip to North East

Our Meghalaya trip with Vintage Trip turned out to be a really smooth and memorable experience for our family. Since we were travelling with our 4-year-old son, we were initially a little concerned about how hectic the trip might get, but the itinerary was planned very thoughtfully and at a comforta
ble pace for travelling with a kid. A special mention to Prabhat Singh for the excellent coordination throughout the trip. He was always available whenever we needed any help, regularly checked in with us every day to make sure everything was going well, and even helped us with a few customisations during the trip itself. That level of support genuinely made the journey stress-free. The hotels arranged were excellent, the travel planning was smooth, and everything was very well coordinated from start to finish. Our driver was also very supportive throughout the journey. He suggested good family-friendly stops on the way and helped us find good vegetarian food options during the trip, which made travelling much more comfortable for us as a family. Meghalaya itself is beautiful, but having a reliable and responsive team made the experience even better for us. Overall, it was a wonderful family trip and we returned with some really lovely memories. Wishing Prabhat and the Vintage Trip team all the very best!

Arpittomar's 5 days trip to North East

I recently planned my trip with The Vintage Trip with my wife, to Meghalaya and overall it was a great experience. The itinerary was well-organized, and everything from hotel bookings to transportation was managed smoothly. The team was responsive and helpful throughout the trip, always available to
assist whenever needed. I really appreciated the flexibility in customizing the plan according to my preferences. One thing I especially want to highlight is how calmly and professionally Prabhat handled my request to change the driver according to my preference—he managed the situation very peacefully without any inconvenience. I also truly appreciated that Prabhat kept continuously checking in with my brother during the trip to ensure everything was going smoothly, which showed genuine care and responsibility. The hotels and travel arrangement were comfortable and offered good value for money. My overall experience was positive and enjoyable. I would definitely consider traveling with them again and recommend them to others looking for a hassle-free travel experience. Thanku Prabhat ji

A few other temples in India that are a must visit include:

Siddhivinayak Temple: You should definitely include the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai as part of your temple tour packages. Built in the early 18th century, this temple is dedicated to the cherubic Lord Ganesha, youngest son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. With the face of an elephant and the body of a human, he is considered to drive away all evils by his sheer tenacity.

Lord Jagannath Temple: The Lord Jagannath Temple in Puri is another one of those must visit temples in India that should be part of your temple package. The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna, and is a vital part of the Char Dham Yatra. The rules here are very strict, and non-hindus do not get to enter the temple premises at all. The annual Rath Yatra held here is an event attended by people from the world over.

Meenakshi Temple: Dedicated to Goddess Parvati, the Meenakshi Temple located in Tamil Nadu’s Madurai city is an architectural wonder in itself, apart from being a place of devotion. There are nearly a thousand pillars inside the temple, all of which are intricately carved and different from each other. The external facade of the temple is a very, very bright and colorful one.

Dwarkadhish Temple: The Dwarkadhish Temple in Gujarat is another part of the Char Dham yatra that hindus consider the ultimate pilgrimage. More than 2,500 years old, the temple is believed to have a door to enter heaven and one to enter nirvana.

Amarnath Cave Temple: This is probably the biggest pilgrimage that a hindu devotee goes on, the Amarnath Yatra. The Amarnath Cave Temple is located in Kashmir, and it is much acclaimed for the natural shiva lingam that forms here during the monsoons, when the dripping water freezes to form the idol. This temple is open only from June to August, and does take a hard trek to visit here, taking nearly 5 days to finish the journey.

Tirupati Balaji Temple: The Tirupati Balaji Temple, located in Andhra Pradesh, is probably one of the most famous temples in India. Over a million devotees visit it daily, offering their hair as a penance for getting their wishes granted. This happens during the Brahmotsavam festival that is held every year in September.

Sabarimala Temple: Located in Kerala, this temple is one with strange customs, of not letting women of menstruation age enter it. It is dedicated to Lord Ayappa, the son of Lord Shiva and Mohini, who was the female incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Recent interventions by the Supreme Court mandated that women of all ages be allowed to enter the temple premises.

These are only a few of the many, many temples that are part of India. All of these well loved and much revered temples are a must visit, if only to see the devotion that people feel and show towards the idols. You are sure to really feel a connection to the “One Supreme Power” that reigns over everybody. Book the right temple tour packages for you so that you can feel the divine power coursing through you.
