Kashmir Tour with Maa Vaishno Devi Darshan
This combined Kashmir and Vaishno Devi Darshan offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, peace, and spiritual experience. The journey begins in Srinagar, where you can enjoy the charm of Dal Lake, Mughal Gardens, and a relaxing Shikara ride. The cool weather, snow-capped mountains, and beautiful landscapes create the perfect start to your trip.
From Srinagar, you explore the famous hill destinations of Gulmarg, known for its Gondola cable car and meadows, Sonmarg with its golden valleys and glaciers, and Pahalgam, the lush “Valley of Shepherds” surrounded by rivers and pine forests. These places offer a wonderful blend of sightseeing, photography, and nature enjoyment.
After experiencing the beauty of Kashmir, the tour moves toward Katra, the base point for the holy shrine of Maa Vaishno Devi. Here, pilgrims undertake a spiritual trek of 12–13 km to visit the sacred cave temple. You may complete the journey on foot, pony, or battery car/Heli options as available.
Ending the tour at Katra gives travellers a perfect balance of devotion and leisure. This package is ideal for families and devotees who want to enjoy Kashmir’s beauty along with the blessings of Maa Vaishno Devi.
