Embark on a Soul-Stirring Journey: The Shri Sammed Shikharji Panchtirth Jain Group Tour Yatra with Vardhman Vacations
For devout Jains, few experiences rival the profound spiritual elevation of visiting Sammed Shikharji (also known as Samet Shikharji or Parasnath Hill). Revered as the holiest pilgrimage site in Jainism, this is where 20 of the 24 Tirthankaras—along with countless saints and ascetics—attained moksha (ultimate liberation). Nestled amid the lush Parasnath Hills in Jharkhand, the site offers not just darshan but a transformative trek that deepens faith, fosters inner peace, and brings pilgrims closer to enlightenment.
Vardhman Vacations, a trusted name in spiritual and Jain-focused travel, offers a well-organized 8-day Shri Sammed Shikharji Panchtirth Jain Group Tour Package and Fixed Departure Packages. Designed for comfort, devotion, and group convenience (up to 250 participants, minimum age 1+), this yatra combines sacred darshans, pure Jain vegetarian meals, reliable transport, and stays in Jain dharamshalas.
Why Sammed Shikharji Holds Eternal Significance
Known as the “Summit of Peaks,” Sammed Shikharji stands as the pinnacle of Jain pilgrimage. The mountain’s tonks (shrines) mark the nirvana spots of Tirthankaras, making every step a meditation on detachment, non-violence, and soul purification. The yatra extends beyond Shikharji to include connected sacred sites in the region—creating a complete Panchtirth experience that enriches the spiritual journey.
