Pilgrimage tours in Gujarat: temples, timed to darshan

Gujarat's great temples are spread across the state: Dwarka and Somnath on the coast, Ambaji, Bahucharaji and Pavagadh inland, and Nathdwara just across the border. Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels drives pilgrim groups for travel agencies in cars, Tempo Travellers and buses, with drivers who plan the day around darshan and aarti times.

  • Darshan-timed days
  • Families and large groups
  • Early starts, 24/7

Short answer

How do we run pilgrimage tours for agencies?

You send the temples, the dates and the number of pilgrims; we plan the route around darshan and aarti times and supply the vehicles: cars for families, our own Tempo Travellers and buses for larger groups. Cars are billed at public per-km rates (agent rates lower, on request); group vehicles are quoted on call.

Public rate

How much does a yatra cost by car?

By car, a yatra is billed like any tour: kilometres or 300 a day, times the rate, plus ₹300 a day. A 4-day yatra of up to 1,200 km is ₹15,600 in a sedan at public rates. Groups in Tempo Travellers or buses are quoted on call.

Group size

Which car fits your group?

Pilgrim families often travel with older relatives: an Ertiga or Innova Crysta gives easier steps in and out. Groups of 8 and more travel in two cars, a Tempo Traveller or a bus, quoted on call.

Planning notes

What makes pilgrimage tours different?

Timing, crowds and the needs of older pilgrims.

  • Darshan and aarti times fix the day: temples close for part of the afternoon, and the morning and evening aartis draw the crowds. The driver plans the drives between them.
  • Festival days (Janmashtami, Shravan, Navratri, full moons) bring very large crowds and road closures; add time, or choose other dates.
  • Early starts: pilgrims often want the first aarti; early starts before 6 AM add the 20% night charge for those hours.
  • Older pilgrims: tell us about wheelchairs or walking difficulty. We do not have wheelchair-accessible vehicles, but drivers help with boarding and luggage.
  • Dress and food: the driver knows where to stop for pure vegetarian meals on the way.
