Few yatras carry the devotion of Vaishno Devi — millions climb the Trikuta hills each year to the holy cave.

The 13 km climb from Katra to Bhawan can be done on foot, by pony, palki, or helicopter to Sanjichhat. We arrange whichever suits your group, with comfortable Katra stays and darshan assistance throughout.
