FAQs
How hard is the walk?
About 13 km each way on a paved path with steps and slopes. Many families do it in 5 to 6 hours each way. Battery cars run on part of the route, and the helicopter cuts the walk to about 2.5 km.
Can you arrange the trip for elderly parents?
Yes. We plan easy hotel locations, wheelchairs where temples allow them, and pony, palki or helicopter options on steep routes.
Is the food vegetarian?
Yes. All meals on our yatras are pure vegetarian. Jain food can be arranged on request.
