i had an extraordinary trip to Vaishno Devi Mata, but few thing i would like to let u keep in your mind during the course of ur visit.......
1. travel light dont carry extra unnecessary baggage to avoid in convenience ......
2. if u are preferring bus at jammu station to board on the bus u first get to c leaving or else u ll hav to wait until next bus gets occupied completely, and it only happens whn next train arrives , this might take an hour also ;)
3. After reaching Katra u ll encounter few rest house broker dont go fr their dharam shala offer they ll ask u to stay and ll offer u to buy 'prashad(-offering made to God)' in exchange of stay and seriously speaking they ll make to buy some material fr heavy amount and most of it is not even allowed at the temple, and all what can b offered is available at shops near the temple when u reach there u can purchase it there, but please dont fall into their trap. Better go for a room in a decent hotel that would cost u the same.
4. Get your ticket for trip at the counter at katra bus stop. Its free of cost but necessary.
5. dont forget to take a stick it will help u walk.
6. There are cloak room available when you start your journey, u can deposit your baggage there thats much better dont think of taking it with if it is more than 5 Kg because it will be really hard.
7. There is now an alternate way to reach the main u can choose that it is at Adhkwari .
well this is a help i wanted to offer hope u all hav a pleasent trip 'Jai Mata Di'.
good job dud...
