About this yatra
The Shiv Purana says that whoever has darshan of the twelve Jyotirlingas is freed from the sins of seven lifetimes. But the twelve shrines are spread across eight states — from the sea at Somnath to the snows at Kedarnath. Doing them on your own means dozens of bookings and long, tiring connections.
Our 12 Jyotirlinga yatra joins them into one smooth circuit with flights for the long jumps, AC road transfers for the rest, and hotels close to each temple. We time every visit for the calmest darshan — including the Bhasma Aarti at Mahakaleshwar when slots are available.

Kedarnath & return
In season (May–Oct) the yatra closes with Kedarnath by helicopter. In winter months we schedule Kedarnath as a separate short yatra.
The order and length can be changed — many families do the 12 Jyotirlingas in two or three shorter yatras. Tell us your dates and we will suggest the easiest split.

Questions about 12 Jyotirlinga Darshan
Can all 12 Jyotirlingas be done in one trip?
Yes, in about 18 days with flights for the long distances. Kedarnath is open only from May to October, so winter yatras cover 11 Jyotirlingas and add Kedarnath separately.
Can we do the Jyotirlinga yatra in parts?
Absolutely. Popular splits are Gujarat (Somnath–Nageshwar), MP (Mahakal–Omkareshwar), Maharashtra (the three Jyotirlingas) and South (Mallikarjuna–Rameshwaram).
Do you arrange Bhasma Aarti at Ujjain?
We apply for Bhasma Aarti slots through the official temple booking as soon as your dates are confirmed. Slots are limited and not guaranteed, but we always try.
