Vaishno Devi
Divine Trails, Scenic Heights & Unshakable Faith
Vaishno Devi – The Spiritual Heart of Jammu
Vaishno Devi Temple, nestled in the Trikuta Hills near Katra, is one of the holiest shrines in India and a powerful center of devotion dedicated to Mata Vaishno Devi. Every year, millions of devotees undertake the 13 km uphill trek to reach the sacred cave temple, seeking blessings, inner peace, and spiritual fulfillment.
Set against a backdrop of lush forests, misty mountains, and crisp mountain air, the journey itself is considered as sacred as the destination. Pilgrims can walk, ride ponies, take palkis, or use battery-operated vehicles or helicopters (from Katra to Sanjichhat) to reach the holy cave.
Starting from Katra town, this spiritual experience combines faith with breathtaking natural beauty — making it one of India’s most visited pilgrimage destinations.
