Want to treat a lady who is 85 to a 4 dham yatra.whats the best route?

Question

also want to travel by hiring a car for comfort, and stay at 3/4 star hotels..any suggestions,info greatly appreciated.(delhi starting point, got 15 days.)

Answer 1

Very difficult for an 85 year woman, yet "Bhakti" can overcome all hurdles. Therefore my suggestion would be:

a) Start from Delhi by Musoori Express to Haridwar and take a taxi to and fro Badrinath Dham. (2n 2d). Return to Delhi.

b) By air from Delhi to Ahmedabad, then by night train (only 2-tier AC possible, no 1st AC) to Veraval. By taxi to Dwarka. Spend night at Dwarka. (2n2d). Return to Ahmedabad next morn.

c) By air from Ahd. to Chennai. Take evening train (5:00pm) to Rameswaram reaching early morning. Spend two to three days to relax beside the sea. Return to Chennai. (3n 3d)

d) Overnight train from Chennai to Bhubaneswar. By taxi to Puri. Spend two to three days here too to relax beside the sea as also take darshan of Lord Jagannath. Return to Delhi by air (3n 4d) or by train (4n 4d).

May God bless you for giving this well thought gift and let Him give strength to the lady to undertake this yatra.
