Overview

Take the ultimate spiritual journey to Kashmir with the Temple Darshan Yatra tour package, which spans six days and visits the most revered pilgrimage sites in the heavenly valleys. This devotion-filled itinerary covers ancient temples as well as prominent mosques, allowing you to experience the rich religious diversity of Kashmir. The tour commences in Srinagar as you pay respects at the tranquil Shankaracharya Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva and offering breathtaking city views. Next is the iconic Hazratbal Shrine, which houses the Moi-e-Muqqadas holy relic. Built of pristine white marble, this revered mosque will leave you spiritually rejuvenated. Proceeding to the town of Mattan, get spellbound by the beautiful Martand Sun Temple ruins from the 8th century. Dedicated to the Sun God, the remains of this temple exemplify remarkable Kashmiri architecture. Feel the divine aura surrounding the Avantiswami Temple ruins, dating back to the 9th century. The ancient city of Pahalgam owes its name to the Sheshnag Lake, believed to be named after the mythical snake god. Here you can trek to the Ardhkuwari caves near the Kolahoi Glacier, mentioned in ancient Hindu scripts. The charming hill town of Gulmarg is home to the holy Baba Reshi shrine, named after the Muslim Sufi saint who spread Islam here. Sonamarg's top attraction is the Thajiwas Glacier, which is dotted by many Hindu temples like Vishnu Temple, Ganesh Temple, and Ram Temple on the way up. No pilgrimage to Kashmir is complete without seeking blessings at the holy Amarnath Cave, one of the most revered Hindu shrines in the world. Housing a natural Shivlinga of ice, reaching this cave involves an arduous yet rewarding trek.
