Jain Circuit Tour Packages

India is the birthplace of Jainism and is home to some of the most revered Jain pilgrimage sites in the world. You can explore all of them with Jain Tour packages. From ancient hillside temples to magnificent marble shrines, the country holds a spiritual wealth that continues to draw lakhs of Jain devotees and pilgrims every year. Our Jain tour packages are thoughtfully designed to honour this sacred tradition, offering a travel experience that is not just comfortable and well-organised, but deeply respectful of the faith, customs, and sentiments of every traveller.

At Cholan Tours, we understand that a Jain pilgrimage tour is more than just a trip; it is a pious journey. 

Our Jain pilgrimage packages are built around your spiritual itinerary, dietary requirements, and travel pace. We offer a solo darshan, a family pilgrimage, or a large group Jain yatra package. We are here to take care of every detail so you can focus entirely on your devotion.

Best Jain Temples to Visit in India

India's Jain pilgrimage circuit spans across multiple states. And each state is offering a unique spiritual and architectural experience. Here are the most sacred destinations featured in our Jain tour packages:

Palitana - Gujarat

Palitana, located in the Bhavnagar district of Gujarat, is one of the holiest Jain pilgrimage sites in the world and a must-include in any Jain pilgrimage package. The Shatrunjaya Hill complex is home to over 900 temples, making it the largest temple city in the world. Climbing the 3,800-plus steps to reach the temples at dawn is a profoundly moving experience that every Jain pilgrim aspires to complete at least once in a lifetime.

Girnar - Gujarat

Girnar, also in Gujarat, is another sacred hill pilgrimage revered by both Jain and Hindu devotees. For Jains, Girnar holds immense significance as the site of the nirvana of Neminath, the 22nd Tirthankara. The temples atop the Girnar hills are ancient, architecturally stunning, and spiritually charged. Our Jain yatra packages to Girnar include comfortable base accommodations in Junagadh and guided temple visits.

Sonagiri - Madhya Pradesh

Sonagiri in Madhya Pradesh is one of the most important Digambara Jain pilgrimage centres in Central India. It houses 77 temples across a hillside in the Datia district, with the main temple dedicated to Chandraprabhu, the 8th Tirthankara. Sonagiri is a deeply peaceful destination and a highlight of our Central India Jain tour packages, particularly for Digambara pilgrims.

Muktagiri - Madhya Pradesh

Muktagiri, nestled in the Satpura ranges near the Maharashtra border, is a serene and relatively lesser-known Jain pilgrimage destination that is increasingly popular in our Jain holiday packages. With 52 temples perched on a hill surrounded by waterfalls and forest, Muktagiri offers a rare combination of natural beauty and spiritual calm. It is especially suitable for senior pilgrim groups seeking a quieter, unhurried darshan experience.

Pavapuri - Bihar

Pavapuri in Bihar holds one of the highest places of reverence in Jainism. It is the site where Bhagwan Mahavira attained nirvana. The Jal Mandir, a white marble temple built in the middle of a lotus-filled pond, is among the most visually breathtaking and spiritually significant Jain shrines in India. Pavapuri is a centrepiece of our Bihar and Eastern India Jain pilgrimage packages.

Best Time to Visit and Jain Festivals

The best time to undertake a Jain pilgrimage tour in India is generally between October and March, when the weather across most      is pleasant, cooler, and well-suited for hill climbs and outdoor temple visits. However, the spiritual calendar of Jainism offers some of the most auspicious and moving travel windows throughout the year.

Paryushana Parva- August / September : 

Paryushana is the most significant festival in the Jain calendar. It is an eight-day period of intense prayer, fasting, self-reflection, and forgiveness. For Shvetambara Jains, it is observed for eight days, and for Digambara Jains, as Das Lakshana, for ten days. Visiting Jain pilgrimage sites during Paryushana is considered especially auspicious, and our Jain festival tour packages during this period include special puja arrangements and community dining (where permitted).

Mahavir Jayanti- March / April :

Mahavir Jayanti marks the birth anniversary of Bhagwan Mahavira, who is the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism. Temples across India are beautifully decorated, and grand processions and prayers are held at major pilgrimage sites, including Pavapuri and Palitana. This is one of the most popular windows for our Jain tour packages, and we recommend early booking for this period.

Diwali & Bhagwan Mahavira Nirvana Divas- October / November : 

For Jains, Diwali holds a special significance as the day Bhagwan Mahavira attained nirvana at Pavapuri. There are celebrations across Jain temples that are deeply devotional in nature. Visiting pilgrimage sites during this time is considered highly meritorious. Our Diwali Jain pilgrimage packages to Pavapuri and Palitana are among our most sought-after offerings.

Das Lakshana Parva- August / September : 

Observed by Digambara Jains over ten days, Das Lakshana Parva celebrates the ten supreme virtues of the Jain dharma. Temples in Sonagiri and Muktagiri see especially large congregations during this festival, making it the best time to visit these Central India Jain destinations.
