Overview

This 9-Day Jain Tirth Yatra is a deeply spiritual pilgrimage covering the most sacred Jain holy sites of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, including Shikharji (Sammed Shikhar)—the holiest Jain tirth where 20 Tirthankars attained Nirvana. Designed exclusively with a Jain spiritual focus, the itinerary prioritizes darshan, pooja, meditation, and peaceful travel, while consciously avoiding unnecessary non-Jain sightseeing. Ideal for devotees seeking devotion, discipline, and inner reflection.
