India is not just a country; it is a living scripture spread across mountains, rivers, deserts, and coastlines. For centuries, devotees have crossed the length and breadth of this land in search of divine blessings, inner peace, and spiritual awakening. If you have ever dreamed of experiencing the complete essence of Bharat’s sacred geography in one grand journey, our 40 to 45 Days Long Tour of India is designed exactly for that purpose which is also known as Teen Dham Yatra Organized by Jagdamba Yatra Company, this comprehensive pilgrimage takes you through nearly every major Jyotirlinga, Char Dham, Sapt Puri, and legendary temple town in the country – a once-in-a-lifetime yatra that connects North, East, South, and West India into a single unbroken thread of devotion.
Beginning the Journey in Rajasthan and Braj Bhoomi
The yatra begins from Jaipur, the Pink City, where pilgrims seek blessings at the Ganeshji Temple and the magnificent Birla Mandir before setting off toward the sacred hills of Mehandipur, home to the powerful Balaji Temple, revered across North India for its unique spiritual energy.

The route then enters Mathura, one of the seven Sapt Puris of India, where the birthplace of Lord Krishna draws millions of devotees every year. Just a short distance away lies Vrindavan, a town soaked in divine romance and devotion, featuring the Rangji Temple, the world-famous Banke Bihari Temple, the resonant chants of Hare Rama Hare Krishna at ISKCON, and the strikingly beautiful Prem Mandir illuminated at night.
