India has long been a place of inspiration and discovery,
and spirituality here has been a major draw for outsiders from time immemorial.
Almost every corner of the country is dotted with pilgrimage sites, offering a
healing break from the brassy metropolises. One such place, where serenity and
spirituality make marks on every visitor, is Shri Veshno Devi Shrine near katra
in Jammu & Kashmir. Amidst lush green Himalayan hills, this holy town is
adobe of Goddess Veshno, an incarnation of Durga, and always brings a sense of
respite to the visitor’s soul. This beautiful cave temple is situated at the
top of Trikuta hills, which receives the second highest number of footfalls
after Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh.
Being located amidst scenic hills and lush green forests,
the town also offers a quant and hillside feel with various natural treasures nearby
to explore. Katra is the place from where trekking to this divine temple of Maa
Veshno Devi starts. Distance from Katra to the temple is about 13km, which
takes 4 to 5 hours, by a healthy person, to get covered on feet. However,
arrangements of ponies, horses and even helicopter ride are also there for
those unable to walk that long. Katra hotels
are used by pilgrims to take necessary rest before and after trekking.
Although Veshno Devi packages are widely available
year-round, winter is the best season to plan your trip – weather is just
amazing with fewer crowds to bother you. Now online booking for katra hotels
and complete darshan packages is possible through some reliable travel agents.
If you go there with proper planning, you will love every bit of your trip. Whether
you book Tirupati
hotels or katra hotels, make sure to deal with a reputed travel company.
