Vaishnodevi Holidays

Seek Divine Blessings in the Sacred Hills of Vaishno Devi

Embark on a spiritual journey to the revered shrine of Vaishno Devi — nestled in the Trikuta Mountains of Jammu and Kashmir. Every year, millions of devotees undertake this pilgrimage, seeking blessings from Mata Vaishno Devi in a journey filled with faith, devotion, and scenic Himalayan beauty.

Whether you're walking up the 13-km trail, taking a helicopter ride, or riding ponies or palanquins, the journey is as uplifting as the destination. The aura of devotion, the chants of "Jai Mata Di", and the surrounding natural serenity make the experience truly divine.

Basic Information

Vaishno Devi Temple is located near Katra town in Jammu, nestled at an altitude of 5,200 feet. The best time to visit is from March to October, although pilgrims visit year-round. Yatra begins from Katra, and facilities like resting shelters, food stalls, and medical aid are available throughout the route.

The pilgrimage is not just a religious act but also a physical and emotional journey. As you ascend the hill chanting prayers, you’re enveloped in positive energy, with panoramic views and cool mountain breeze adding to the experience.

Visiting Vaishno Devi is more than a spiritual trip — it’s a reminder of devotion, inner strength, and peace. Many combine the visit with trips to nearby Patnitop or Shivkhori caves for a more complete Himalayan escape.
