Head on an exciting trip to Vaishno Devi Temple

Vaishnodevi Temple is open throughout the year for the pilgrims. Still, the best time remains for Vaishnodevi Temple is between the months of March and October. During this time, the weather remains cool and pleasant.

You may not find any prepaid SIM connection in Katra. Because prepaid SIM connection will not work there in Kashmir except local connection bought in Kashmir itself. You will find internet connection working on postpaid networks and other local sim cards.

No, still the ropeway doesn't work here. Some of the new ropeways have been started from Vaishnodevi Bhawan to Bhairon Baba Mandir which can reduce the journey for 3 minutes. This ropeway can carry 800 people every hour.

Basically rush is seen in Vaishnodevi during summer vacation only. At least 20,000 people travel in Vaishnodevi regularly. This year the number of pilgrims crossed 47,369 and this is the highest number of pilgrims in a day this year.

To make this Vaishnodevi darshan more convenient and easier, the Vaishnodevi Shrine board has a cloakroom where the pilgrims can leave their goods, cameras and mobile phones because these are not allowed inside of the temple.
