The oldest city of India and the spiritual capital of the Hindu religion, devotees throng from all over to the place that practically describes the Hindu culture in its words as well as actions. The best time to visit the place is between October to March. When you are here, Tripbeam suggests visiting the famous Varanasi’s Ganga Aarti, Dashashwamedh Ghat, and Kashi Vishwanath Temple.
Ajmer Sharif, Ajmer
The tomb of Moinuddin Chisti, the Dargah Sharif, is one of the sacred places to visit in India, as suggested by Tripbeam experts. The place had played a huge role in the spreading of the ethical and religious values of Islam among the followers. The best time to visit the shrine would be between December to February.
Amarnath, Jammu, and Kashmir
Worshippers of God Shiva flock here by fifty thousand every year and more. The place holds an enshrined ice sculpture of the Shivling that is formed naturally. The pilgrimage is also one of the places where Hindu devotees come and seek Shiva’s blessings for a good life with families.
Tripbeam experts say that the best time to visit it would be between May to September. Do check out places such as Amarnath Cave and Baltal while going on the Amarnath Yatra. It would be easier if you book US to Delhi flights and then take the trip to Jammu and Kashmir. Our travel experts will suggest the best route for you, based on your needs.
Haridwar, Uttarakhand
No religious tour of sacred places in India would ever be complete without mentioning Haridwar. The name Haridwar literally means ‘the abode of God Vishnu’, and it is considered among the 7 top holiest cities in India. There is a lot in this city apart from the spiritual side, which is probably why millions of tourists gather here every year. Whether you want to wash your sins away or gain some spiritual wisdom by paying your respects to the deities here, take a dip in the Har Ki Pauri and feel the calm aura wash over you.
There is no best time to visit the place as Tripbeam pros say, going to God’s abode is best at all times of the year. The places you need to check out are the Chandi Devi Temple, the Ganga Aarti in Haridwar, and the obvious, Har Ki Pauri for a sacred dip.
Kedarnath, Uttarakhand
Counted among the 4 Dhams of India and being the busiest pilgrimage region in the Himalayas, Kedarnath’s history will be fascinating to you enough to visit the place in person. It is said in the Mahabharata that in order to evade the Pandavas, God Shiva took the form of a bull and hid here at Kedarnath.
When he was found by them, he seeped further into the earth to hide, leaving only his hump visible. The best times to visit the place according to Tripbeam experts are September to October and May to June. When you’re here, you need to visit the Sonprayag, Vasuki Tal, and the Kedarnath Temple.
Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh
The city of Prayag has much to behold in its center. Allahabad is renowned for being the meeting point of 3 rivers in one flow- the rivers Ganga, Yamuna, and Sarasvati. Since times as old as the Hindu religion, Allahabad has been holding large Hindu gatherings at the Sangam (meeting point of the 3 rivers), known as the Maha Kumbh Mela.
Now, it has taken the form of a large fair where you need to be careful of your footsteps due to the immensely heavy crowds. Tripbeam suggests that the best time to visit Allahabad would be October to March. Don’t forget to visit the Khusro Bagh, the Triveni Sangam, and of course, the Kumbh Mela for a world full of memories to take back home.
