Shikhar Ji Yatra Tour Package 2026: The Complete Guide to India's Most Sacred Jain Pilgrimage
06 Nights / 07 Days | Champapuri · Pavapuri · Rajgir · Shikhar Ji | Starting ₹17,999 Per Person
Some journeys change you. The Shikhar Ji Yatra is one of them.
Nestled deep in the Parasnath Hills of Jharkhand, Shikhar Ji — also known as Sammed Shikharji — is the holiest pilgrimage destination in Jainism. It's where 20 of the 24 Tirthankaras attained moksha. Standing at the summit, surrounded by ancient tonks and the sound of nothing but wind and prayer, you realise this place isn't just a destination. It's a conversation between you and the divine.
And now, NFTT WORLD has made this once-in-a-lifetime journey effortlessly accessible — with a fully managed 7-day tour package starting at just ₹17,999 per person.
Let's walk through every detail so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Shikhar Ji Is Every Jain's Dream Pilgrimage
Shikhar Ji sits at an altitude of roughly 1,350 metres in Giridih district, Jharkhand. For the Jain community, visiting this sacred mountain isn't just travel. It's a deeply spiritual obligation — a moment of surrender, gratitude, and inner cleansing.
The mountain trail is dotted with 20 tonks, each commemorating a Tirthankara. Pilgrims walk the entire circuit in a single day, barefoot, with hearts full and eyes wet. It's physically demanding. Spiritually, though? It fills you in ways that are genuinely hard to describe.
Beyond Shikhar Ji, this tour takes you through Champapuri, Pavapuri, and Rajgir — three more sites of immense religious significance for Jains. You're not just visiting temples. You're tracing the footsteps of centuries of faith.
Tour at a Glance
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1 — Arrival at Parasnath → Shikhar Ji
Your journey begins the moment you step off the train at Parasnath Railway Station. The NFTT WORLD team greets you warmly. From there, it's a smooth drive to Shikhar Ji — your base for the next three nights.
Tonight, settle in. Have dinner. Rest. Tomorrow, the real magic begins.
Meals: Dinner
Day 2 — Talheti Darshan
Talheti is the base area of Shikhar Ji — a vibrant spiritual hub lined with dharamshalas, temples, and the quiet hum of devotion. You spend the day exploring Talheti and visiting nearby temples at your own pace.
This is a day to absorb. Don't rush it.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Chouviar
Day 3 — Pahad Vandana (The Sacred Mountain Trek)
Rise before dawn. This is the day.
The Pahad Vandana — the mountain circumambulation — begins in the early hours. You walk the sacred trail, visiting each of the 20 tonks. This is a personal activity and one you'll carry with you forever.
By the time you descend, something inside you feels lighter.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Chouviar
Day 4 — Shikhar Ji → Champapuri (via Mandargiri)
It's time to move. The drive to Champapuri covers approximately 210 km over 6 hours. En route, you stop at Mandargiri — a serene Jain pilgrimage site perched on a rocky hill with stunning panoramic views.
Champapuri holds a special place in Jain history. It's the birthplace of Bhagwan Vasupujya, the 12th Tirthankara.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Chouviar
Day 5 — Champapuri Darshan → Pavapuri (via Guniya Ji Temple)
Morning brings the Champapuri Temple Darshan — peaceful, beautiful, and spiritually rich. Then you head toward Pavapuri, stopping at the Guniya Ji Temple along the way. The drive is about 190 km over 5.5 hours.
Pavapuri is where Bhagwan Mahavira — the last Tirthankara — attained nirvana. The Jal Mandir, built in the middle of a lotus pond, is breathtaking.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Chouviar
Day 6 — Pavapuri Darshan → Rajgir (via Kundalpur)
After a morning Darshan at the Pavapuri temples, you drive to Rajgir — just 20 km away. On the way, you visit Kundalpur, the birthplace of Bhagwan Mahavira.
Rajgir is a town of incredible spiritual energy. It holds significance across Jainism, Buddhism, and Hinduism — and walking its streets feels like stepping back through centuries.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Chouviar
Day 7 — Rajgir Darshan → Patna (Journey's End)
The final morning. You visit the Rajgir temples one last time — unhurried, heartfelt. Then the bus rolls toward Patna Railway Station, roughly 105 km away. You reach in about 2.5 hours.
The tour ends here. But the memories? They travel home with you.
Meals: Breakfast
