YATRA

The yatra begins at Katra and pilgrims have to cover 13 kms on foot to reach the Darbar/Shrine.

Yatris are advised to obtain slip from the Yatra Registration counter at the Tourism Reception Centre, Katra Bus Stand. Without an authentic yatra slip, crossing Banganga check post will not be allowed . the slip is free but necessary to commence the years.

One km away from Katra, Banganga is situate, a place where Mata quenched her thirst. Six kms away from Katra, you will find Adhkawari, the holy cave where Mata meditated for nine months. Do visit the cave.

After 9.5 kms of trekking , you will reach Sanjhi Chhat where you can rest for some time. Accommodation is available at this place. Bhawan is just 3.5 kms away from here.

The entire 13 kms route is quite clean , wide & tiled. Besides, the whole path is lit up at night by powerful sodium vapour lamps. The yatris are requested to keep the path clean.

Shelter *** sheds & cafeterias are set up enroute and pure vegetarian food is available at these outlets. Drinking water & public utilities with automatic flushing system along the track and at the Bhawan are made available.

On reaching Bhawan, show your yatra slip at the Registration Office and obtain the Batch No. provided on the slip. This number will determine your place in the queue for darshan of Ma Vaishno Devi.

Have a bath and change your cloths.
Buy chuni & prasad.

Since you have not mentioned your place of origin ,I am advising you take a train from Delhi to jammu and now a days I think upto Udhampur .Katra is just 40 km from Udhampur .Stay in a lodge ,buy the pass to enter vaishno devi .During rush it takes 2 to 3 days to get pass now a days .So I advise you better take a package tour from New Delhi station area where lots of travel agents offices are available .check and buy and proceed .It will save you lot of time
