One planned circuit
We sequence the twelve temples to cut backtracking, whether you do all of them or a regional group.
All twelve
Jyotirlingas.
The twelve Jyotirlinga temples are spread from Gujarat to Tamil Nadu and up into the Himalayas. By road the circuit takes weeks. By private chartering it can be done in days, at the pace your family chooses.
Nearest-airport routing
Each leg lands at the airport closest to the temple, with cars waiting for the drive to darshan.
Helicopter for Kedarnath
The one Himalayan Jyotirlinga is reached by helicopter from Dehradun or the Kedar valley helipads in season.
Your pace
One temple a day or two. Rest days, stays and meals planned around the family.
