The shrine of Vaishnodevi is located nearer to Jammu in the Indian State of Jammu & Kashmir. Vaishnodevi is reachable from a small town Katra. The town is located in a high altitude and in the hilly region of lower Himalayas in the Trikuta range. Similarly, the shrine of Vaishnavdevi is situated about 61 Kms from the site up hill is around 14 kms from the Katra. After reaching here, the experience is totally a different. Enchanting view of the different valleys, filled with lush green trees, humming sounds of the bees and chirping sounds of the birds, echoes of the devotees "Jai Mata Ki" or "Jai Mata Di" all along the way and water falls with their silvery brightness is not a thing to miss. All that is worth seeing and admiring far away from the madding crowd, unending sounds of the modern machines and vehicles. To reach on to the top of the hill one has to climb up by any of the routes available there. Devotees from all over India and abroad come here to have a ‘Darshan’ of the Goddess presiding in the hills. Pilgrims in the earlier day's used to begin their journey during the days of `Navaratri' in September and continuing for 3 months consecutively.
