Mansa Devi hill, Haridwar
Kamakhya Temple, Guwahati

The Shakti Peethas and the great Devi temples draw pilgrims all year, and most of all during Navratri and Durga Puja. Vaishno Devi's climb, Kamakhya's hilltop shrine and Kolkata's Kali temples each have their own rhythm of queues and rituals.

We plan around the festival calendar, arrange battery cars, ponies or the helicopter at Katra, and choose stays close to the temple for early darshan.

How we plan

Planned with reverence

Darshan and prayer timings

We plan each day around opening hours, aarti, Mass or prayer times, and book darshan, puja or VIP entry where the temple allows it.

Paced for elders

Fewer hotel changes, ground-floor or lift rooms on request, wheelchairs, ponies, palkis or helicopters where available.

Food that respects your faith

Pure vegetarian, Jain, satvik or halal meals arranged where possible, and we tell you honestly where options are limited.

Registrations and permits

Char Dham and Amarnath registration, Inner Line and Tibet permits, and medical certificates where they are required.
