While trekking you’ll get so much postivity and the energy. Its a pure bliss to trek by own.

“VAISHNO DEVI”

The holy cave is the ultimate destination for the yatris “BHAWAN”. Inside the cave the goddess has revealed herself in the form of holy pindies manifesting Mata in her THREE forms

MAHA KALI,

MAHA LAKSHMI &

MATA SARASWATI.

We can get a glimpse of Bhawan around 1.5kms before actually reaching there.

On arriving Bhawan, obtain the group number at the yatra slip check post to get into the ques for darshan. Proceed for darshan when the group number is announced. While

We deposited our belongings in the lockers and went for darshan. We deposited our coconuts inside the main hall against a token, proceeded to the holy cave & chanted silently because chanting of slogans of praises inside the cave is not allowed as it disturbs the other pilgrims.

We visit vaishno devi every year, we start our year with the blessings of MATA VAISHNO DEVI. I always wanted to witness VAISHNO DEVI in snowfall atleast once in my lifetime and i got lucky this time.

This was the best part of my trip.

Amritsar is home of HARMANDIR SAHIB, popularly known as "THE GOLDEN TEMPLE", the most visited gurudwaras.
