Upon arrival at Jammu Airport or Railway Station, you will be met and transferred to Katra (approx. 2 hours drive). Check into your hotel and relax. Spend the evening exploring the local market of Katra, known for dry fruits and traditional goods. Prepare yourself for the divine journey ahead. Overnight stay in Katra.
Start your day with a short drive to the Katra Helipad. Board your helicopter for an 8-minute flight to Sanjichhat, offering panoramic views of the Trikuta Mountains. From Sanjichhat, it's a 2.5 km trek (or pony/palki) to the holy Bhawan. Have a soul-satisfying darshan of Mata Vaishno Devi. You can also visit the Bhaironath Temple (accessible via ropeway). Return to Sanjichhat for your helicopter flight back to Katra. Overnight stay in Katra.
After breakfast, drive to Shiv Khori (approx. 75 km from Katra), a natural cave shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Witness the natural formations of the Shivling inside the half-kilometer long cave. After seeking blessings, you will be transferred back to Jammu Airport or Railway Station for your onward journey, carrying the divine blessings of Mata Vaishno Devi and Lord Shiva.
