With Her blessings, we did mataji darshan on the 3rd of May, '12. The whole journey, from the foothills of the Trikurta hills to the top, a long 13 km trek, is indeed an overwhelming experience. I, accompanied by my wife, started the trip on foot at 3 pm and reached Bhawan (that houses the Shrine) at 8-15 pm. After... More

Millions of tourists of faith visit this shrine. But it appears that the systems and facilities put in place are highly inadequate. Just to get a locker to put the stuff not allowed inside the temple, like mobile phone, camera etc we had to stand in queue for 3.5 hours, that too late at night from 1.30 am to 5.00... More

Marked by a long 13 km trek.. which is made comfortable with brilliant road and arrangements.. u can take up a pony ride up or helicopter but trekking is the way to enjoy it.. with people chanting praises of shrine.. and even if u have to wait in queue for hours at the top ... its totally worth the wait More

I've been to Vaishno devi more than 10 times.. I simply find this place amazing. The peace under the divine hand of Goddess Vaishno is the thing I always look for. There is Helicopter service but if you are fit, try to walk.. The amazing beauty which you will witness while walking cannot be compared. The enthusiasm of fellow travelers... More

Vaishno Devi is one of the holiest pilgrimages in India. We started our journey for Vaishno Devi from Delhi sarai rohilla by duronto express which is a very nice and clean train although it does not provide food unlike otherduronto express trains. We reached Jammu in the morning by 7 am and from Jammu took a cab to katra which... More

The pathway on the mighty Trikuta mountain leading to Mata Vaishno Devi’s abode is actually a journey to the places where Mata Vaishnavi had spent time in ‘Tapasaya’ and Bhairon Nath chasing her (till her destination). The goddess after halting at ‘Baan Ganga’, ‘Charan Paduka’ and ‘Adhkanwari’, finally reached the holy cave. The conclusion of this journey is at the... More
