About Bhageerathi Travels
Bangalore’s oldest package tour operator, trusted since 1964. Travel with tradition, travel with care.
From one office in 1964 to a lakh happy travellers
Bhageerathi Travels began in the Bangalore of the 1960s, when end to end tour packages were still a new idea in South India.
Our founder, the late B.A. Ramachandra, did not plan tours from a desk. He travelled the routes himself, found out where pilgrims could stay and eat well, and built itineraries for the Kashi Yatra, the Badri Yatra, Rameswaram and Nepal. Families trusted him because every detail had been tried first.
More than six decades later, that personal attention is still at the heart of Bhageerathi. Every journey is planned in detail, run by our own tour managers and cooks, and supported by partners who have been with us for over fifty years.

From our yatras
What our travellers say
ShivaprakashBadrinath yatra
Hello everyone,
A huge thank you to the entire Bhageerathi Travels team for making our unprecedented and challenging journey a grand success!
First of all, a big thank you to our driver for driving safely and responsibly, without any rash driving, and to the entire team for ensuring our safety throughout the journey.
It is often said that good food makes an event successful. Thank you for providing us with a variety of delicious food every day throughout the tour.
Though the idol may be small, its fame is immense! No one should underestimate the dedication behind a successful journey. A special thanks to Harsha for carrying out the responsibilities entrusted to him so neatly and efficiently.
I truly felt as though Lord Narayana Himself had come to take us for Badrinath Darshan and care for us with so much love and affection. A heartfelt thank you to Narayan for looking after every one of us so lovingly.
Anyone can perform a duty, but when that duty is carried out with love, affection, and genuine care, the experience becomes truly indescribable. Narayan did exactly that. He was not just our tour manager but also a family member, like an elder brother, who cared for us at every step. He truly showed us what an ideal tour manager should be like. Thank you so much, Narayan, for making this journey so special and memorable.
Finally, a big thank you to every member of our group. Everyone got along wonderfully and blended together like one big family, adding even more joy and glory to our trip.
Thank you very much to everyone for making this journey such a beautiful, memorable, and successful experience!
From 7.6.26 to 13.6.26, I, Gopalaiah, and 13 members of our family participated in the Naimisharanya, Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Kashi and Gaya tour by M/s Bhageerathi Travels.

Jayam Padmaja10 day Kashi and Ayodhya yatra
I am happy to share that the 10 day pilgrimage tour to holy places such as Kashi and Ayodhya, organized by Bhagirathi Travels, and undertaken with my family, concluded successfully today. The journey was extremely pleasant, comfortable, and enjoyable.
SeshuKashi and Ayodhya yatra
ಜನಪ್ರಿಯ ಭಾಗೀರತಿ ಟ್ರಾವಲ್ಸ್ ರವರು ಆಯೋಜಿಸಿದ್ದ 10 ದಿನಗಳ ಕಾಶಿ/ಅಯೋಧ್ಯ ಮುಂತಾದ ಧಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರಗಳಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಕರ/ಸ್ನೇಹಿತರುಗಳ ಜೊತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ಪ್ರವಾಸ ಕೈಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದು ಈ ದಿನ ಮುಕ್ತಾಯಗೊಂಡಿದ್ದು ಪ್ರವಾಸ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಸಂತೋಷಕರವಾಗಿ ಸುಖಕರವಾಗಿತ್ತು ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿಸಲು ಬಯಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.
I am delighted to share my experience of 10 day pilgrimage tour organized by Bhagirathi Travels to some of the most sacred places in India, including Kashi, Ayodhya, Gaya, Lucknow, and Prayagraj. I had an incredibly fulfilling journey, and I feel grateful for the wonderful experience we had, thanks to the seamless planning and impeccable service provided by the entire Bhagirathi Travels team.
From the very beginning, we were impressed by how well the tour was organized. Mr. Krishna and Mr. Amit Prabhu, our tour managers, deserve special mention for their exceptional leadership and attention to detail. They ensured everything went smoothly, and their efforts in taking extra care of us as senior citizens was truly commendable. Their thoughtful planning ensured that we were never rushed, allowing us to spend good time in the spiritual essence of each location.
A huge shout-out goes to Mr. Vitthal and his talented team for preparing delicious and hygienic meals throughout the tour. Every meal was a treat to the taste buds, and we always looked forward to the next one. The food was not only tasty but also ensured that we stayed healthy and energized for our daily excursions.
Moreover, I cannot thank Mr. Amit Prabhu enough for his insightful guidance during the spiritual visits. His knowledge of the sacred places, the history behind them, and the spiritual significance they hold made our journey all the more meaningful. His prayers and spiritual discourse added a deeper layer to the pilgrimage, making it not just a trip but a true spiritual experience.
The entire group of fellow pilgrims with us was wonderful, everyone was kind, cooperative, and positive, which created a warm and harmonious atmosphere throughout the journey.
I am immensely thankful to Bhagirathi Travels for organizing such a smooth and enriching pilgrimage tour, with comfortable accommodation and delicious food throughout the journey. The entire trip was relaxed, comfortable, and filled with positive experiences. I would highly recommend Bhagirathi Travels for anyone looking to undertake a spiritual journey to sacred sites.
Once again, heartfelt thanks to Mr. Krishna, Mr. Amit Prabhu, Chef Vitthal, and the entire Bhagirathi Travels team for making this pilgrimage so memorable.
