About Shiv Shankar Tirth Yatra

5 decades back a man named Shiv Charan Lal Agarwal used to sell beans and holy books at Laxman Jhula Rishikesh has now become a famous personality who conducts the holy journey for the pilgrims through trains. Now a days this man is renowned as the owner of Shri Shiv Shankar Tirth Yatra Group. He was born on 22nd December 1932 at Hindon City in Rajasthan and he was not even highly educated. His father owned a shop of daily need items. His father was a religious man. He used to get woods from the forest for cooking purposes and then distributes the food in poor and hungry people. He used to curse him that you are giving away your food to villagers but you don’t even care about your son whether he has eaten food properly or not? Shivcharan used to hear all these tantrums of people.

Top Places To Visit

How are We different from others?

Comfortable yatra, personalized experience, diligently planned, learn on yatras, our expert team, this is what our yatris are saying.

This being my first Tirtha Yatra as a group tour, was a very pleasurable and enjoyable experience. Our Yatra director Agrani Krishna Dasa kept the morale of the yatris in a good humor. Three cheers! Keep up the good work!

Mala Jayasimha

Throughout the Ahobilam Yatra I felt spiritual influence through the Yatra director. The co-pilgrims were all like-minded. I had a very thrilling and superb experience. The Yatra was splendid. Travel was very comfortable.

K V Venkatesh

It is really amazing to see your commitment and involvement in running the Tirtha Yatra. Your indomitable will to keep the show running and managing the two nearly physically unfit members of the group all the way despite your own physical pain and agony is a great commendable job. May be Lord has bestowed you that strength and we are very fortunate to have your large heart. We are very happy and shall look forward to associate with Tirtha Yatra in future.

Umesh Prabhu

This is the first time I went on a Tirtha Yatra. It was a very wonderful experience of the holy place Ahobilam.

Wonderful is the only word I get in mind for Tirtha Yatra. Yatra Director catered to every pilgrim - from making everyone comfortable, the food, travel and the commentary - everything was great. Released itinerary was well-maintained and the utmost comfort of yatris was kept in mind while planning. Sthala Purana of each place was nicely explained. The team was expert in planning the food menu. Thanks to Lord for giving an opportunity to associate with such a great Yatra team. I look forward to many more yatras by Tirtha Yatra team.

Sridhar Venugopal

It was a wonderful Yatra. I am looking forward for such more yatras with the team of Tirtha Yatra.

Overall it was a very good experience. Truly we are all blessed by Lord Krishna. It was not just a trip but a pilgrimage tour with only visit to temples. I learnt lot of things and gathered lot of information about Dwarka and Lord Krishna’s pastimes. Until now we would see Dwarka and Somnath in TV and magazines but when I saw with my eyes, I felt very happy. Thank you Tirtha Yatra for giving us an opportunity to visit these places. I look forward to attend such tours in future

Satheesha A

This Yatra was my first pilgrimage experience. I couldn’t have asked for better excellent arrangements and a guide.

Supria Chandra

The yatra was simply awesome and has left me craving for more yatras. It was the most blissful divine experience ever. It was neatly planned; daily schedule with sumptuous and tasty prasadam. This yatra has brought me closer to Lord Krishna. Overall the yatra was absolutely wonderful and amazing which was accompanied with kirtanas, satsang and pastime renditions.

Varsha Ramanna

It was a very good experience. I am very happy to see the places with detailed explanations. Getting maha-prasadam is the luckiest thing. Experiencing local fruits, sweets and food was awesome. Devotees’ association was superb. Thank you very much for grouping devotees to relish good times of their life and to make their dream come true.

Your effort in organizing this yatra is really appreciable. We are happy that we visited these holy places and learnt about them. It is good to see that the young team members of Tirtha Yatra are spreading awareness about the greatness of religious places in India and the Indian culture itself. This is the ultimate goal of life. Satsanga was very enlightening and the Khichdi prasadam was delicious. A great yatra for a great price.

Murli Krishna Pattaje

Vijayakumar g.

Overall I had a memorable and excellent experience in the company of humble and co-operative Yatra director Agrani Krishna Dasa. The Ahobilam Yatra was very well planned and executed. Arrangements were awesome. Definitely it was planned by the experienced team of Tirtha Yatra.

Srinivas Prasad R S

The Ahobilam Yatra was just awesome. Our special thanks to Agrani Krishna Dasa our Yatra director, who looked after us like a devoted son.

K N Jayasimha

I would only describe Ahobilam Yatra as wonderful. The guidance and explanation about each temple was wonderful.

N G Krishnamurthy

Our Yatra director was very cooperative. The short sessions at every temple were very educative. Agrani Krishna Dasa is a very dedicated person. Overall it was a memorable experience.

It was a well-planned yatra. Without the team of Tirtha Yatra, my visit to nine temples in Ahobilam would not have happened. Such was the motivation and encouragement given to make the tough / tiresome journey to Pavana Narasimha temple, easy for me. Otherwise I would have easily backed out. Accommodation was good, the best we could get in such a place. Overall the Yatra was very good.

Upon reaching Rameshwaram, we checked into our hotel, strategically located to offer a breathtaking view of the temple town. After a brief rest, we headed straight to the iconic Ramanathaswamy Temple, one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines. The second day began with an early morning visit to Agnitheertham, where we took a dip in the holy waters of the Bay of Bengal, believing it would cleanse our souls.

How to Choose the Right Tour Group

Group size, participants’ age range, style of travel and budget are among the factors you should consider when selecting an itinerary.

By Elaine Glusac

Elaine Glusac is the Frugal Traveler columnist, focusing on budget-friendly tips and journeys.

Tour companies that offer multiday trips arrange most everything for you: lodging, sightseeing, food and transportation. But group size, style of travel and budget are among the considerations travelers should assess before picking a tour. Read on for tips.

Big group or small

Start your research by thinking about how many people you want to travel with and what your tolerance is for the social demands dictated by group size.

Smaller groups can move more nimbly and possibly see more. But they can also be more intensely social as you spend a great deal of time with the same people touring and dining.

Larger groups tend to require more time to get around, but they can also offer more social variety — for example, you can change up your lunch partners more easily.

“Large groups offer anonymity, allowing travelers to choose their level of interaction,” said Deborah Miller, a travel adviser and the owner of Edge of Wonder Travels Unlimited in San Francisco. “Conversely, smaller groups foster intimacy among travelers, guides and the destination itself.”

Look for age-appropriate trips

Think about the demographics of your travel party and consider matching that to a tour company.

Operators often segment their trips by age under the assumption that similarly aged people have more in common or prefer the same pace. Road Scholar , for example, caters to an intellectually curious 50-plus crowd.

On the other end of the spectrum, G Adventures offers a category of trips for “18-to-thirtysomethings” and Intrepid Travel has trips for 18-to-35-year-olds.

With their inherent age spans, families can be a tough demographic to fit into larger group departures, which is why companies tend to break up family offerings by age group.

The active tour company Backroads has three age segments for families, including trips for those with children 4 to 19, those with older teens and younger adults into their 20s, and those with children in their 20s and beyond.

“By definition, that creates somewhat of an age segmentation among parents, too,” said Tom Hale, the founder, president and chief executive of Backroads.

Go general or specific

A popular option for first-timers, a general tour will hit the highlights of a destination, like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre in Paris or major sites in Tokyo and Kyoto in Japan.

Beyond the general approach, alternatives abound based on themes, styles of travel or hobbies.

Themed trips include a culinary tour of Sicily , a deep dive into literary England , Europe’s World War II battlefields and how women live in India .

In addition to topics, trips often revolve around the means of travel, such as going by train , on foot or by boat (a category that can be further segmented by size, from a cruise ship to a barge or a kayak ).

Tours can also allow you to pursue an interest like swimming or knitting in a unique destination.

Analyze tour inclusions

Once you determine where and how you want to go, prices will range from budget to luxury.

“For travelers on a budget, large group tours tend to be the best fit because it’s a great way to see major attractions at a lower price point,” said Cheyenne Schriefer, a travel adviser and the owner of All Travel Matters in Golden Valley, N.D.

But not all tours are built the same. To compare them, consider what they include.

For example, G Adventures has a 10-day hiking trip in Switzerland from $1,799 a person and a 10-day hiking trip in Portugal for $4,499. The latter is billed as a luxury trip, so the accommodations are pricier, but it also includes most meals, transfers and activities. The Swiss tour offers more basic lodgings, transfers, optional activities available for a fee, and fewer meals.

“Sometimes fewer inclusions are better than more,” said Pauline Frommer, co-president of Frommer Media, which publishes Frommer’s guidebooks . She pointed out that restaurants that can accommodate busloads probably don’t attract local traffic and that independent sightseeing allows you to “wander through local neighborhoods to get the feel of local life.”

Expertise of the guide or tour leader can also alter the price and the experience. You can expect to pay more for a tour led by a specialist, such as an Egyptologist guiding a group along the Nile.

Gauge your level of independence

Do you prefer to follow a strict schedule that relieves you from having to find, say, a restaurant for dinner? Or do you appreciate some structure — like knowing your hotel reservations are covered — but also want free time to explore independently?

Tour companies run the gamut. Before booking, read the itineraries carefully to find out if the schedule is tight or loose. If that is not clear, call the company to ask.

For truly independent travelers, self-guided tours offered by companies such as Inntravel , Exodus Adventure Travels and Macs Adventure make your ground arrangements and provide an itinerary to follow. Popular in Europe, these itineraries tend to be inn-to-inn walking or cycling trips that include luggage transfers.

“Self-guided travelers are independent but love the support of having a trip arranged for them, and they don’t want to hike with a big backpack anymore,” said Jasper Verlaan, the U.S. sales director for Macs Adventure.

Ask for recommendations

If you’re still unsure about putting down a deposit once you’ve done your research, ask the tour company if you may speak to a past client.

“Ask for references,” said Lynn Cutler, the senior vice president of travel for Smithsonian Enterprises, which runs the tour company Smithsonian Journeys . “We’ll find them a traveler who has done this trip in the past and put them in touch.”

Ukrainian drones attack large ammunition depot in Voronezh Oblast, source says

Russian air defense units destroyed "several drones" over Russia's Voronezh Oblast overnight on July 7, Governor Aleksandr Gusev claimed on his Telegram channel.

Falling drone debris caused a fire in one of the warehouses and the detonation of unidentified explosives in the Podgorensky district, according to the governor.

Later in the day, a law enforcement source told the Kyiv Independent that Ukrainian drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine struck a large ammunition depot in the village of Sergeevka in Voronezh Oblast.

"On an area of nine square kilometers, the enemy stored surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles, shells for tanks and artillery, and boxes of ammunition for firearms," the source said.

Russia reportedly supplies ammunition from this warehouse to its troops in Ukraine, the source added.

As of around 9:30 a.m. local time, Gusev announced that a state of emergency had been introduced within the Podgorensky district, where "debris from a Ukrainian drone fell."

The Russian Defense Ministry, on the contrary, did not report downing drones over Voronezh Oblast. On July 7, it reported the downing of one drone over the Belgorod Oblast.

The Voronezh Oblast borders Ukraine's Luhansk Oblast, partially occupied by Russian forces.

Ukrainian "kamikaze" drones operated by Ukraine's military intelligence attacked a gunpowder plant in the town of Kotovsk in Russia's Tambov Oblast, a military intelligence source told the Kyiv Independent on July 4.

Ukrainian forces regularly conduct drone strikes and sabotage acts on Russian territory, targeting military assets, oil refineries , and industrial facilities.
