Vardhman Vacations Launches Shri Sammed Shikharjee Yatra with Helicopter Service
Vardhman Vacations, a trusted name in Jain pilgrimage tours since 1990, has introduced a premium helicopter option for the sacred Shri Sammed Shikharjee Yatra. This new launch brings greater comfort and accessibility to one of Jainism’s most revered sites, while preserving the spiritual essence of the journey.
Shri Sammed Shikharjee (also known as Parasnath Hill) in Jharkhand ranks as the Teerthraj — the King of Teerths. It is the holy place where 20 of the 24 Jain Tirthankaras attained Nirvana. Devotees visit to seek soul purification, perform rituals at the tonks (shrines), and offer prayers at the footprints of the Tirthankaras.
Traditional Yatra vs. New Helicopter Experience
Vardhman Vacations’ popular Sammed Shikharji Shwetambar Jain Yatra with Kitchen Van (6 Nights / 7 Days) remains the core offering. It features a complete spiritual circuit covering Taleti, the challenging Pahad Yatra to the summit (approx. 27 km trek with over 12,000 steps), Rujuwalika (Champapuri), Lachhwada, Shatriyakund, Guniyaji, Rajgruhi, Kundalpur, and additional sacred stops like Pawapuri and Bhaddilpur.
The package includes pure Jain vegetarian meals prepared fresh in a dedicated kitchen van (for groups), comfortable stays in dharamshalas or hotels, transfers, and guided darshans. Weekend packages (2 Nights / 3 Days) start from affordable rates for small groups (e.g., ₹8,300 for 2 pax).
The new helicopter yatra changes the game for senior citizens, families, and those unable to undertake the strenuous trek. Pilgrims can now reach the sacred peak swiftly and comfortably by helicopter, enjoying breathtaking aerial views of the lush green forests and valleys. This option reduces physical strain while allowing ample time for holy baths, pooja, and darshan at key tonks, including the highest Parshwanath Tonk.
