undefined Itinerary

Start your day by visiting the holy shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi. The trek to the shrine is a spiritual experience in itself, with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. Begin your journey early in the morning to avoid the crowds and enjoy the tranquility of the mountains. The trek is about 14 kilometers long, and you can choose to walk or hire a horse or a palanquin for the journey.

After reaching the shrine, offer your prayers and seek blessings from Mata Vaishno Devi. Take some time to explore the area and soak in the spiritual atmosphere. You can also visit the Bhairon Temple, which is located a short distance from the main shrine. Enjoy a simple vegetarian meal at one of the langars (community kitchens) near the shrine, where food is served as a form of sacred offering.

Descend back to Katra in the evening. Treat yourself to a relaxing massage or spa treatment at one of the wellness centers in Katra. Indulge in some local street food and snacks, such as samosas and pakoras, which are available at various stalls in the market. Take a leisurely walk through the bustling markets of Katra, where you can shop for souvenirs and religious artifacts.
