Full 108 Divya Desam Yatra Plan
Best starting point: Chennai or Trichy. Suggested duration: 18-22 days total (including 2 long-distance legs to North India and Nepal).
This is a macro-plan, not a fixed itinerary: most pilgrims split it across several separate trips over months or years rather than one continuous journey. Distances and day counts are approximate; always re-check temple timings locally, especially for the Himalayan shrines which close for winter.
