About the 12 Jyotirlinga yatra
The 12 Jyotirlinga tour package takes you to all twelve self-manifested shrines (swayambhu lingams) of Lord Shiva, spread across six states from Gujarat and Maharashtra to Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Completing the full dwadash jyotirling yatra is considered the most meritorious Shiva pilgrimage in Sanatan tradition. Shree Kanaiya Tours & Travels has run this circuit for satvik families since 1995 with 100% pure-veg and Jain food (no onion, no garlic), comfortable hotels near each temple, VIP/skip-the-queue darshan where available, and experienced yatra managers.
The 12 Jyotirlingas — significance & location
- Somnath (Gujarat) — the first Jyotirling, on the Arabian Sea coast at Prabhas Patan; rebuilt many times, eternally radiant.
- Mallikarjuna (Andhra Pradesh) — at Srisailam on the Nallamala hills beside the Krishna river; both a Jyotirling and a Shakti Peeth.
- Mahakaleshwar (Madhya Pradesh) — in Ujjain; the only south-facing Jyotirling, famous for the daily Bhasma Aarti.
- Omkareshwar (Madhya Pradesh) — on the Om-shaped Mandhata island in the Narmada at Khandwa.
- Vaidyanath / Baidyanath (Jharkhand) — at Deoghar, the “divine physician” lingam revered for healing.

- Kashi Vishwanath (Uttar Pradesh) — in Varanasi on the Ganga, the holiest of Shiva kshetras.

12 Jyotirlinga tour package cost — what's included
The complete 12 Jyotirlinga yatra package cost starts from around ₹78,999–₹84,999 per person for the full 21-day circuit on a group departure, and varies with your departure city, hotel category, season and whether the Kedarnath helicopter leg is added. The price typically includes accommodation near each temple, daily pure-veg/Jain meals, air-conditioned transport, darshan assistance and a tour manager. Shorter options — such as the 5-day Maharashtra 5 Jyotirling package or a split 10–12 day circuit — cost considerably less and are popular with senior citizens.
How to reach — by air, train or road
Because the twelve shrines are spread across India, the 12 Jyotirlinga tour by air is the fastest way to cover them: we use flights between far-apart legs (e.g. Deoghar, Srisailam, Rameshwaram) and surface transport for clustered temples in Maharashtra, Gujarat and MP. A budget-friendly by-train version is also available. Group departures run from Mumbai, Surat, Ahmedabad and Bengaluru, with pickups arranged for nearby cities.
