Sufism is called the Path of Love, and it is not learned from books — it is felt, at the dargahs where the souls of the saints are said to be forever present, where the veil between the seeker and the Beloved grows thin. This journey takes you to those places, and lets you sit in them.

You’ll begin in Delhi, the ‘blessed threshold of the twenty-two saints’ — the shrine of Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki, and the beloved dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, where his disciple Amir Khusrau all but invented qawwali, and where that group singing still rises every evening as it has for seven centuries. From there the road leads to the dargahs of Kaliyar Sharif near Roorkee and Bu Ali Shah Qalandar at Panipat, the rauza at Sirhind, and — the heart of it all — Ajmer Sharif, the shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti, the ‘Saint of India’, where kings and beggars have sought blessing for eight hundred years. It closes with the marble dargah of Salim Chisti at Fatehpur Sikri, and the Taj Mahal at Agra — itself an act of love turned to stone.

These are living, working shrines, each with its own etiquette and rhythm. We travel with local guides who understand the qul, the offerings and the tradition, so you enter with respect and leave with something words can’t hold.

Why travel this path with us

The shrines that matter, in one thread

Nizamuddin, Ajmer Sharif, Kaliyar, Panipat, Sirhind and Salim Chisti — the great Chishti dargahs of the north, woven into a single, coherent pilgrimage.

Qawwali, understood

From the very shrine where Amir Khusrau shaped it, our guide helps you feel the qawwali — not just hear it. Thursday evenings are the most powerful, and we try to align your dates.

Guides who know the etiquette

Entering a dargah has its own grace — the offerings, the covering, the qul. Our local guides walk you through it gently, so you belong rather than intrude.

Living devotion, not a museum

These are working shrines full of pilgrims and prayer. We give you time to simply sit, to tie a thread of hope, to let the place work on you.

Comfort on a devotional road

The dargahs span several states; we handle every drive, train and hotel so nothing distracts from why you came.

Shaped around your practice

Ten days, day by day

A framework, not a script — shaped around prayer and qawwali.

Arrive Delhi, the threshold of the saints. In the afternoon, the shrine of Qutubuddin Bakhtiar Kaki and the Qutub complex; in the early evening, the dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya for qawwali and the grave of the poet Amir Khusrau.

The old walled city — Jama Masjid and the grave of Sarmad Faqir — and the Persian garden-tomb of Humayun, with Safdarjung’s tomb and the Lodi Gardens.

A day trip north to the 800-year-old dargah of Kaliyar Sharif near Roorkee, returning to Delhi by evening.

The dargah of Bu Ali Shah Qalandar at Panipat, then on to Le Corbusier’s planned city of Chandigarh.

The revered rauza at Sirhind, then the return toward Delhi.

By train to Ajmer for the great shrine of Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti — the spiritual heart of the journey — with a second visit for evening prayers.

On to the Pink City, with Amber Fort and an orientation of Jaipur.

West to Agra, pausing at Fatehpur Sikri for the marble dargah of Salim Chisti, the Buland Darwaza and Panch Mahal.

The Taj Mahal — love turned to marble — and Agra Fort, before the road back to Delhi.

Your onward flight home, the path behind you.
