Attractions in route to Vaishno Devi Gufa

There are various attractions en route from Katra to Vaishno Devi Bhawan which present a sight to behold. These points are often briefly introduced to the pilgrims traveling by pony or palkis. However, those who chose to travel by foot out of devotion get a nice reward for this.

• Ban Ganga – A small flowing rivulet reminds you to keep going with high spirits. Another reason for the presence of this small stream here is associated with miracles of the Goddess.

Meanwhile, the imprints of her foot got engraved on a rock. Thus, pilgrims pay obeisance here with full devotion.

• Ardhkuwari Darshan – Translating to an eternal virgin, Ardhkuwari is the place where Maa meditated and worshiped Lord Shiva for 9 months. She resided in a cave just as a child does in his mother’s womb for 9 months. Thus, the cave got the name as ‘Garbh Joon’. It was after then that Bharion came to know about the Devi who then made an opening in the cave with her trident. She further proceeded towards the Bhawan instantly. Despite that the cave here is very narrow, many followers still pay homage by traversing through it. Moreover, the place also marks the completion of half of the journey.

Legends state it that due to the genuine apologies of the Bhairon Nath, Mata Rani gave him a blessing that he too will be worshipped by her devotees. Otherwise, the Yatra of the devotees will be considered incomplete. Also, Maa not only forgave him but also helped him attain salvation. Thus, visiting Bhairav Baba Mandir after having Darshan of Vaishno Devi is a must.

• Bhawan – The ultimate destination of the Vaishno Devi Yatra is the holy bhawan or the cave of the Goddess. The sanctum sanctorum welcomes the devotees full of unparalleled zeal and enthusiasm.

Over 11 lakh pilgrims have made the trip to the Vaishno Devi Temple in 2024—and that’s just in less than half a year. The shrine, situated in a small cave within a shrine complex perched at a height of 5,200ft on the Trikuta mountain in Katra, draws pilgrims and curious tourists from around the country and the world. For those who visit, the trip is a fairly long one—either a 15km trek or, even if they opt for a helicopter ride, long lines and a fair bit of waiting. That means planning is key. Here’s a comprehensive guide to visiting the Vaishno Devi Temple, with all the essential details on how to get there, what to pack and when to go.

Best time to visit the Vaishno Devi temple

If you’re planning a trip to the Vaishno Devi temple, it’s best to optimise for good weather. The best time to visit Jammu is in the autumn and winter seasons, which last from October to March or April. The weather is pleasant during this time, with daytime temperatures not exceeding 30°C. That means plenty of sunshine and clear skies as you make the trek to the shrine. The temple is open 24x7, and many pilgrims choose to begin their trek at sunset to avoid the heat and crowds.

Monsoon lasts from July to September in Jammu and brings moderate to heavy rainfall to the region. It’s not advisable to visit the shrine during this time due to the constant downpours and chances of floods and landslides. Chaitra Navratri (March-April) and Sharad Navratri (September-October) tend to bring massive crowds to the shrine. During this time, the pathways leading up to the shrine tend to be choc-a-bloc with pilgrims, and getting to the top could take over a day or two, depending on the crowds.

How to get to Katra

By flight: If you’re travelling from Delhi, IndiGo, SpiceJet and Air India offer frequent non-stop flights between the two. If you’re flying from Mumbai, IndiGo is the main carrier. IndiGo and Air India offer 1-2 non-stop flights on all days except Wednesdays. If you can’t find one, your best bet is a flight with a layover in Delhi or Srinagar. If you’re in Srinagar, you can take a flight from Srinagar International Airport to Jammu Airport—the flight is just under an hour. Katra is about an hour’s drive from Jammu Airport. By train: Take a train to Jammu Railway Station and drive to Katra (1 hour 15 minutes), or take a train to Katra Railway Station, though connectivity is limited. By car: The main city of Jammu is about a five-hour drive from Srinagar.

How to get to the Vaishno Devi temple

You can undertake the trip to the Vaishno Devi temple in two ways—a 15km trek or a helicopter ride.

Trek to the Vaishno Devi temple

The trek up to the Vaishno Devi temple begins at the yatra starting point in Katra and lasts about 15km. Before beginning, you need to register for the yatra at the registration centre at Katra bus stand to get your RFID Yatra Access Card. Depending on your pace and the number of breaks you take, the trek could last between three-six hours. You can choose to walk up the entire way, or opt for a palki or pony ride up. Folks offer these rides at the starting point as well as at Sanji Chhat, and drop you right at the point where the lines for the shrine entrance begin. There are several shops and eateries along the way, selling prasad, snacks, cold drinks, water and more. The midpoint of the trek is named Adhkuwari, following which is a plateau called Sanji Chhat that many use as a resting point.

The trek features a moderate ascend, on a paved, sheltered pathway. If you’re walking up, make sure to keep an eye out for the palkis and ponies—they move pretty fast and you’re better off staying out of their way.

Take a helicopter to the Vaishno Devi temple

The helicopter ride takes you from the helipad in Katra all the way to Sanji Chhat, cutting down the hours-long trek to a quick 5-minute ride. After your drop-off at Sanji Chhat, you have about 2.5km to reach the shrine—you can walk up or opt for a pony/palki ride.

Two operators fly helicopters to and from the helipad—Global Vectra and Himalayan. Tickets need to be booked online well in advance—they sometimes sell out 2-3 months prior. The helicopters seat 4-5 people, along with the pilot. Bookings can only be made through the official website of the Vaishno Devi Shrine Board and a one-way ticket costs about Rs2,100. The helicopter ride is free for children below the age of two years. On the day of your booking, you will need to arrive at the helipad about 1.5 hours prior (you will be informed about what time to arrive once your booking is confirmed) to verify your booking and receive your physical ticket and RFID Yatra Access Card. Make sure to carry a valid government ID to verify your booking. Prepare for some amount of waiting at the helipad in case of logistical delays. The helipad waiting room has ample seating and washrooms. Once all formalities have been completed, a car will take you up to the main helipad, where you will board the helicopter. Photography is strictly prohibited during the ride, and the staff takes away your phones temporarily and returns them when you land. Liquids are allowed in your bag as long as each item is below 100ml and packed in transparent bags. The ride, though short, is scenic, with beautiful views of the Trikuta mountain, Katra and the snow-capped Himalayas in the distance.

How to get to the Bhairavnath Temple

About 2km uphill from the bhawan or main shrine complex is the Bhairavnath Temple. Many pilgrims make the second trek after their trip to the Vaishno Devi Temple. Though shorter than the first, the hour-long trek is steeper and therefore more challenging. This trek is not recommended for senior citizens and folks with limited mobility. Ponies are available for this trek too. Alternatively, you could book the five-minute cable car ride up. The aerial ropeway is operational from 9am to 5pm and needs to be booked online in advance. The ride is free for children under three; a one-way ride for adults costs about Rs100. The queue for the ropeway ride tends to be long, so get there before your allotted time slot and prepare for some amount of waiting.

What to pack

Carry a light backpack or handbag for your trip to the Vaishno Devi temple, with your phone, some cash, and a bottle of water. Jio and Vodafone users typically receive network coverage throughout the journey, however, remember that only postpaid SIM cards work in the area. Carry a cap and sunscreen, especially if you’re visiting during the summer months—the maximum temperature in Jammu this May is 41°C. Once you get to the shrine complex, you will need to deposit your bags and shoes in a locker—the queue for lockers tends to be pretty long—before you get in line to head to the main shrine, which is within a small cave. There’s also an area to shower here, for those who want to freshen up before heading to the shrine. Folks who have opted for a VIP darshan have separate locker facilities further along with no queues. There are several shops and eateries along the way—including a Domino’s outlet at the entry of the shrine complex that offers pizzas without any onion or garlic, so you don’t need to pack food for the trip.

Best Time To Visit Mata Vaishno Devi Temple

Mata Vaishno Devi Temple, nestled in the Trikuta Mountains of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, is one of the holiest shrines dedicated to Goddess Vaishno Devi. Pilgrims from all corners of the country and abroad embark on a spiritual journey to seek the blessings of the Divine Mother. The temple is situated at an altitude of approximately 5,300 feet, and its weather conditions vary throughout the year. Choosing the right time to visit is crucial for a comfortable and fulfilling pilgrimage. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the different seasons, temperatures, and weather conditions to help you plan your visit to Mata Vaishno Devi Temple effectively.

• Best Time to Visit : The best time to visit Mata Vaishno Devi Temple is during the spring months of March to June when the weather is pleasant, and trekking conditions are optimal.

Table of Contents

Winter (December to February)

Winter at Mata Vaishno Devi Temple brings chilly temperatures and occasional snowfall. The months of December, January, and February witness sub-zero temperatures, making it the coldest time of the year. During this period, the region experiences heavy snowfall, and the trekking paths may be covered with snow, posing a challenge for pilgrims. The temperature can range from -2°C to 10°C, and it is advisable to carry heavy woolens, jackets, and snow boots to stay warm.

Despite the cold, winter has its own charm, with the surroundings blanketed in snow, creating a picturesque landscape. However, due to the harsh weather conditions, the Yatra (pilgrimage) may be temporarily suspended, and the helicopter services to the temple may also be affected. Pilgrims planning a visit during this season should be well-prepared for the cold and check for any travel advisories or updates on the Yatra status.

Spring (March to May)

As winter gives way to spring, the weather at Mata Vaishno Devi Temple becomes milder and more pleasant. The months of March, April, and May witness a gradual increase in temperature, with daytime temperatures ranging from 10°C to 25°C. The snow begins to melt, making the trekking paths more accessible for pilgrims.

Spring is considered an ideal time to visit the temple, as the weather is relatively comfortable, and the natural beauty of the surroundings starts to come to life with blooming flowers and lush greenery. Pilgrims can enjoy the scenic views and undertake the Yatra with ease. It is advisable to carry a mix of warm and light clothing during this season, as temperatures can still be cool, especially in the early morning and late evening.

Summer (June to August)

Summer marks the peak pilgrimage season at Mata Vaishno Devi Temple. The months of June, July, and August experience the highest temperatures, ranging from 15°C to 30°C. While the days can be warm, the nights remain cool and pleasant. The snow has completely melted, and the trekking paths are in optimal condition for pilgrims.

During summer, the temple attracts a large number of devotees, and the Yatra is in full swing. The lush green surroundings and clear skies make the journey spiritually uplifting. It is essential to carry light and breathable clothing, along with sun protection like hats and sunscreen, to stay comfortable during the daytime. Additionally, pilgrims should stay hydrated and be mindful of the crowds, as the temple sees increased footfall during this season.

Monsoon (September to November)

The post-summer months bring the monsoon season to Mata Vaishno Devi Temple. From September to November, the region experiences moderate to heavy rainfall. The temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C, providing a respite from the summer heat. However, the rain can make the trekking paths slippery, posing a challenge for pilgrims.

Despite the rain, the monsoon season has its own charm, with the surroundings rejuvenated and vibrant. Pilgrims visiting during this time should be prepared for rain showers and carry waterproof gear, including raincoats and umbrellas. The Yatra may continue during the monsoon, but pilgrims are advised to check for any updates on the trekking conditions and be cautious while navigating the paths.

Travel smart, registration, walk the roads, pony or doli rides, fly in the sky, pray at ardhkuwari temple, stop at sanjichhat.

Irrespective of the time, Vaishno Devi always has its share of visitors. The best time to visit is during summer when the weather is just perfect on the mountains. If you are visiting during the monsoons or winter, you need to keep in mind that weather conditions are prone to change. Special days like New Year’s Eve, Navratras and summer vacation or festivals are very crowded. The waiting time is too long so it is best avoided to plan during this time.

The below chart helps you to find the best time to visit Vaishno Devi Temple:

Depending on your time of visit, make sure you carry the right attire. If you are travelling during winter, carry gloves, scarves, and woollens to keep you warm. Also, wear comfortable shoes even if you do not plan to trek. When travelling in the summer, use lightweight cotton clothing inside because the sun is intensely bright.

You will need to register yourself for the Yatra. This can be obtained from Yatra Registration Counter at Katra and you do not need to pay for the same. Once you have a registration slip, you will have to cross the first check post at Banganga within 6 hrs of issuance of the Yatra Slip.

You have the option taking the 12 km trek from Katra. The temple lies at an altitude of 52000 feet. So you should be prepared for a long walk. The trek itself is smooth as the way is well paved. If you do not wish to walk on the slope, you have the option of climbing steep stairs as well. Start your trek at nightfall, as this will give you an amazing opportunity to catch the sight of the rising sun from the mountain beds, clasping the entire valley in its sunshine.

If you are not keen on walking or are travelling with senior citizens, you have the option of taking a pony ride as well. They have a fixed rate and you can get all relevant information about the prices and availability on various signboards or at the Assistance Centres at Katra, Banganga and other places. Battery-operated autos for senior citizens are available during the day.

You also have the option of choosing a helicopter service, which is available from Katra to Sanjhichatt helipad. The service needs to be pre-booked as there is high demand for the rides.

In the middle of the journey to the Holy Shrine, the ArdhKuwari Temple cave is a must-visit. The pilgrimage to Vaishnodevi is considered incomplete till this temple is visited. It is widely believed that Mata Vaishnodevi spent 9 months in the ArdhKuwari Gufa for meditation before residing in the Vaishno Devi Bhavan and defeating the demon Bhairavnath.

Sanjichhat is a beautiful spot located at a distance of 3.25 km from Ardhkunwari. The panoramic view of the valley and snow-covered Himalayan peaks can be enjoyed from here.

There are plenty of eateries and refreshment centres throughout the route maintained by the Shrine Board. The Bhojanalayas offer delicious rajma rice, puri chole, dosa, kadipakoda and dahi vada. Keep yourself nourished and hydrated on the journey

The main complex, known as the Bhawan, has free and rented accommodation facilities, vegetarian restaurants, a medical unit, blanket stores, cloakrooms, and shops selling religious offerings and souvenirs.

When you reach the cave, you can spot three pindis which symbolise Goddesses Kali, Lakshmi and Saraswati. Goddess Vaishnodevi symbolizes their union, having the power of all three.

Vaishno Devi: A Complete Guide to the Divine Temple and Yatra

Are you looking for a spiritual and adventurous destination in India? If yes, then you should definitely visit Vaishno Devi, one of the most revered Hindu shrines in the world. Located in the Trikuta Hills of Katra, Jammu & Kashmir, Vaishno Devi is a temple dedicated to the three forms of the Goddess Durga: Maha Kali, Maha Saraswati, and Maha Lakshmi.

Millions of pilgrims visit this temple every year to seek the blessings of the goddess and fulfill their wishes. In this article, we will provide you with all the information, tips, and packages you need to plan your trip to Vaishno Devi and experience the divine grace of the goddess.

History and Legend of Vaishno Devi

According to the legend, Vaishno Devi was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, who took the form of a young girl to escape the clutches of a demon named Bhairavnath. She hid herself in a cave in the Trikuta Hills , where she meditated for nine months. During this time, she was discovered by Pandit Sridhar, a Hindu priest, who was blessed by the goddess with four sons and the custodianship of the cave. The goddess also asked him to organize a grand feast for the villagers, who were amazed by the miracle.

However, Bhairavnath soon tracked down the goddess and chased her to the cave, where she assumed the form of Maha Kali and killed him. The goddess then merged with the three rock formations or pindies in the cave, which represent the three forms of the goddess: Maha Kali, Maha Saraswati, and Maha Lakshmi. These pindies are the main attraction of the temple, where the pilgrims offer their prayers and offerings.

The name Vaishno Devi means “the manifestation of the mother goddess” . It is also related to the goddess Durga, who is the supreme power of the universe and the embodiment of the feminine energy or shakti. Vaishno Devi is considered as one of the 108 shaktipeeths or sacred sites of the goddess, where her body parts fell after being cut by Lord Vishnu’s discus. The temple is believed to be the place where the goddess’s skull or head fell, and hence it is also known as Mata Rani or the Queen Mother.

Things to Know Before Visiting Vaishno Devi

Before you embark on your journey to Vaishno Devi, there are some things you should know to make your trip smooth and hassle-free. Here are some of them:

Photography and videography are strictly prohibited inside the temple premises, as it is considered disrespectful to the goddess. You can only take photos and videos outside the temple complex, where there are many scenic spots and views.

There are many mythological stories associated with the temple and its surroundings, which add to the charm and mystery of the place. For example, there is a story that the goddess created a stream of water from her hair to quench the thirst of the pilgrims, which is now known as the Ban Ganga. There is also a story that the goddess left her footprints on a rock, which is now known as the Charan Paduka. You can learn more about these stories and their significance from the guides and locals, who will be happy to share their knowledge and insights with you.
