Making careful plans for transportation, lodging and trekking are all part of organizing a Vaishno Devi Yatra from Delhi. This is a detailed itinerary for an easy pilgrimage.
1. Travel to Katra from Delhi
Private transportation, buses, or trains may be utilized to complete the journey.
For a peaceful and convenient journey, particularly with family or friends renting a 16 seater Tempo Traveller in Delhi is a good option. It has a sufficient amount of space and comfort to endure the lengthy trip. It is also appropriate for group pilgrims visiting in a collective spirit allowing pilgrims an inexpensive and efficient travel method without splitting into numerous reservations.
2. Trek to Vaishno Devi Shrine
From Katra, the temple is 13 km upwards.
Pilgrims may walk or avail ponies, palanquins, and battery-operated cars.
Helicopter services are also available from Katra to Sanjichhat, shortening the trek.
3. Accommodation & Essentials
Advance booking of accommodation is advisable, particularly during peak season.
Bring with you the basics such as your ID proof, comfortable shoes, and the yatra slip (compulsory for entry into the pilgrimage).
4. Best Time to Visit
The most favorable time for the yatra is from March to October when the weather is truly supportive and comfortable.
5. Back Journey
After Darshan, back to Katra and again to Delhi.
With proper planning and the right travel arrangements your Vaishno Devi Yatra can be a memorable and spiritually fulfilling experience.
