“Trip to Vaishno Devi Temple on 31st Dec. 2005” — Dare to Dream, Care to Achieve.

We had no clue what lay there for us. We finalized the plan and confirmed our bookings. We were ignorant and didn’t do any research or read about the weather and the conditions there. My husband preferred to climb the Vaishno Devi Mountain without shoes due to his religious belief and faith. He had done the same couple of times in the past anyways. However, he had never covered this journey during peak winters. We didn’t think twice and decided that our first new year celebration, together would be at Vaishno Devi Temple. The Vaishno Devi Temple also referred to as Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Temple is a prominent and widely revered Hindu temple dedicated to the goddess Vaishno Dev at a height of 5,200 ft.It is located in Katra, Reasi on the slopes of Trikuta Hills within the union territory of Jammu & Kashmir in India. It is one of the most visited pilgrimage centers in India. Every year, millions of devotees visit the temple. The devotees choose different ways like walking bare feet as well as crawling up to seek Goddess’s blessing and pay gratitude for the wish fulfillment. A 13-kilometer trek from Katra town leads to the Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrimage site, where the goddess manifests in a cave. In the last ten years, a helicopter service has also been introduced and you can reach the peak within 10 minutes. It has made the pilgrimage easier for old people, kids, and many others. <a href="https://shwetag1907.medium.com/trip-to-vaishno-devi-temple-on-mountains-31st-dec-2005-dare-to-dream-care-to-achieve-3b3c04352452">Click Here</a>
