We had started planning for our trip to Vaishnodevi well in advance. So, our tickets were booked in time. However, had we planned it better we would have got confirmed seats in the beginning only. Our recent trip to Vaishnodevi was a great learning experience for all of us. We had gone as a group of six adults and 4 kids. Two from our group were 60+ age. Although ten years before I had been going to Vaishnodevi almost every year since childhood. But since last 10 years, we were not able to go there due to some or the other reason. Since our group had varied ages, I would say each one of us have an experience to share. I am going to share some useful tips and tricks that can help you organise your trip better.
Tips and tricks to make Vaishnodevi Yatra comfortable
1. Plan ahead of time at least three months before you are travelling to Vaishno Devi. Try and book train tickets as soon as possible when the booking opens. You have an option to directly reach Katra in various trains. These trains are convenient. One can even book aeroplane tickets and the plane would drop at Jammu. From Jammu, take a taxi till Katra
2. If you're planning for a helicopter ride till Saanjhi Chhat it's a good idea for people who have problems walking due to health issues. The amount that is spent on a helicopter is the almost equivalent to the one spent at the ground hiring horses or taking pitthoos (people who carry luggage and kids) and palkis (palanquin)
