Looking to take a family vacation for a bit of peace and spiritual fulfillment? There are many great places to visit that carry deep religious significance for people of India, but arranging the train, hotel, and local transportation all by yourself can be a huge hassle. Hence, thousands of families rely on the official government platform, the IRCTC Tourism, to deal with everything. With IRCTC Tourism's sorted Bharat Tirtha Darshan travel packages, you can visit many spiritual places in a single journey without the stress of planning everything from scratch. 

Let's take an in-depth look at three of the most popular pilgrimage options that you can book today.

1. A Bharat Darshan Tour to explore the country's heritage

The Bharat Darshan Tour (modernly known as the Bharat Gaurav Tourist Train) is meant for those who want to visit several of the iconic holy cities in one big tour. The exterior of these special trains is adorned with exquisite paintings that showcase classical dances and monuments of India, creating a sense of specialness during the journey.

This includes your train tickets, a fresh vegetarian meal ready for you in the train's own special pantry car, budget hotel or comfort hotel accommodation at overnight stops, and road transfers via train or bus.

This is extremely cheap and very popular among long-distance families and senior citizens looking for a fully guided group trip across the states, with all the safety measures they require.

The location has an unusual appeal that is bound to captivate the mind of any visitor. But then the allure of Mumbai will be shattered by the religious zeal at Shirdi, a small town famous throughout the world for the great saint Sai Baba. Shirdi is also a significant pilgrimage centre, and devotees come from across the globe to pray at this place and obtain the blessings of Sai Baba. A place where all heads bow down in prayer, where faith prevails, where patience is rewarded, and where infinite joy and everlasting contentment abound. The greatness of a place dedicated to the revered saint, who is a repository of wisdom. The little town is packed with places and events for you to see and enjoy while here that are religious in nature. The air in that place carries spiritual chants, and the grandeur will spellbind you, too. A Shirdi Jyotirlinga Darshan Yatra is particularly ideal for senior citizens and families that choose to visit these sacred places and cleanse their sins.

The Balaji Darshan package makes for a busy pilgrimage. Tirumala is for those who want to go and witness the incredible sacredness of the hills. Access to single-entry tickets and clean rooms in Tirupati can be challenging; this package provides the opportunity to make the whole thing easy.

You are taken around the rituals without waiting in lines for an entire day so that you can be entirely absorbed in the divine presence of Lord Venkateswara.
