A little planning makes a family pilgrimage easier
Keep the official information and your family's practical needs together when planning the trip. These three checks are a useful starting point.
1
Confirm TTD details first
Darshan, seva, accommodation, quota and visitor instructions can change. Verify the latest information through official TTD channels before travel.
2
Plan around your family
Consider children, infants, elders, walking ability, meal breaks and rest time when deciding your temple and travel schedule.
3
Keep your stay flexible
Share your expected arrival and pilgrimage plan with Mahas when enquiring so our team can guide you on practical stay arrangements.
OFFICIAL TTD INFORMATION
Always verify darshan and booking information with TTD
