    Vaishno Devi Temple is located at the height of around 60 km from Jammu city centre and 12 km from Katra, a popularly known small town in Reasi district of Jammu & Kashmir.

    It is one of the holy shrines in India, where thousands of pilgrims are come from all across the world to take the blessings of Vaishno Devi (also known as Mata Rani, Jagdamba, Sherawali, Vaishnavi, Ambe or Durga)

    New Route (TARAKOTE ROUTE)

    Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on May 19th, 2018

    Tarakote Marg Gate is located around 2.5 km from Katra Chowk, and you may take an autorickshaw to reach here. Through this new route, the distance from Tarakote Marg Gate to Adhkuwari is 7 km but better than the 6-km old route due to its cleanliness, unavailability of palanquins, ponies & Pithoos and this route is not crowdy.

    Note: Like two routes from Katra Chowk to Adhkuwari, there are also two routes from Adhkuwari to Maa Vaishno Devi Bhawan.

    The new route takes you to Bhawan via Himkoti. The distance between Adhkuwari to Bhawan is around 2.5 km and this track offers the facility of battery-operated vehicles.

    Unlike the old route, you may not find palanquins, ponies & Pithoos here. You will see a very limited number of shops on this route.

    NEW ROUTE

    Katra -> Banganga -> Charan Paduka -> Adhkuwari -> Himkoti Marg -> Vaishno Devi Bhawan

    Wonderful though crowded. Lots of locals and tourists both. It was a lovely evening spent in October and we got lucky enough to chat with the gardeners about upcoming suitable plants for the winter season. Highly recommended. Our driver was rushing us so we got less than an hour here, but you could easily relax here and spend a couple of hours contemplating the giant flowers. Clean toilets inside and also a limited cafe where you can get food and tea. The Nishat Shopping Centre right opposite has great food and shopping options.

    Nigeen Lake is better and more peaceful lake than that of the Dal Lake. Its clean and provides peace of mind while staying in a houseboat.

    A valley in it's truest sense, very picturesque, Surrounded by great snow views,
    The drive to the valley in itself is very beautiful.
    There were very few tourists there at the time, an experience not to be missed.

    Zojila pass was closed as when we went there but we got to enjoy other sceninc beauties of sonamarg Kashmir. All credits to our Ashiq bhai. This is not an endorsed comment. This is an honest review based on our experience.
    Our trip was mainly guided by Ashiq bhai. We really were carefree on our trip because of him. For first 3 days Ashiq bhai arranged a vehicle and a driver in a reasonable price. Mostly people like to loot you on tourist places, telling you fares touching sky heights. But Ashiq bhai being honest and a humble man , who not only charged us fairly but took care of various other stuffs during our trip, making it more easier. He also informed us about the scams and the accurate charges of other trip activities whether it is snow related activities or a simple shawl shopping so that we dont get looted. I really thank you Ashiq bhai if you are reading this review, for making our trip to Paradise of India amazing. If someone is planning to visit Kashmir, you can contact him on 9797726520. Trust me you will like the services. He will guide you correctly.
