Before you set off

Ekadashi and the Phalgun Mela bring enormous crowds — plan parking and darshan around them.
Khatu and Salasar together need two days to be done without rushing.
A driver who knows these towns saves an hour of circling for parking. Ask for one who does.
Prasad and offerings are bought at the temple, not on the road in.

Questions about this route

How many days for Khatu Shyamji and Salasar from Jodhpur?

Two days and one night is the sensible minimum. Day one covers the drive and Khatu darshan; day two covers Salasar and the return.

Do you handle large pilgrimage groups?

Regularly — it is one of our most common bookings. For groups above forty we usually run a 45 or 55-seater coach with an attendant alongside the driver.
