FAQs

What is the best time to visit Sammed Shikharji?
The ideal time for the yatra is from October to March, as the weather is cooler and more pleasant for trekking. Avoid the summer months (April to June) due to extreme heat and monsoon months (July to September) due to heavy rainfall.
How long does the trek take?
The trek to the top of Sammed Shikharji and back takes approximately 8-10 hours. It's about 18 km one way. This duration depends on your walking speed and how much time you spend at each Tonk (shrine).
What is the level of difficulty of the trek?
The trek is moderately challenging due to the distance and the hilly terrain. There are some steep sections, so it is advisable to be in reasonable physical condition before undertaking the yatra. Pilgrims can opt for dolis if they cannot walk the full distance.
Are there food and accommodation facilities available?

Can children and the elderly participate in the yatra?
