12 Jyotirlinga Darshan in One Year: A Unique Tour Programme
We at Waytoindia.com organize a unique tour program which we prefer to call as 12 Jyotirlinga in One Year.
This program enrolls the Shiv Bhakts for a year-long program in which every month or alternate month we organize a tour to one or more Jyotirlingas, such that, for one complete year, the Shiv Bhakts are able to complete their 12 Jyotirlinga Yatra.
The best part of this initiative is that while someone who has not even started their Jyotirlinga Yatra can do all the 12 Jyotirlinga in a year, others who might have been to one or more of the Jyotirlingas can choose the once which are still not done and only join for those Jyotirlingas which they have still not visited.
Since the calendar of tours is shared well in advance, the Yatris can plan their travel accordingly.
In case you are desirous of joining our 12 Jyotirlinga in one year program, you may write to us on info@waytoindia.com and we would enroll for the upcoming 12 Jyotirlinga Darshan tours.
