Hello my fellow road travelers. Been working on an exciting vlog series for sometime and am sure you will like it.
This vlog series is on the beautiful long drive to Vaishno Devi in Katra, Jammu all the way from Mumbai. The journey takes us through the myriad landscapes of India through the states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, New Delhi, Punjab and finally Jammu.
The season is winter and we are expecting snow at the top. The best part of our road trip is through Punjab, which is cold, wet and romantic. Jammu is absolutely unlike what I had an assumption, being unsafe. It is definitely safe and life is like in any other busy Indian city. The road from Jammu to Katra is unbelievable. Twists turns and the beautiful landscape all along.
Katra is about 3 hours drive from Jammu and is a beautiful little township at the foothills of the Vaishno Devi mountains. Cheap and good hotels are in plenty. The small market is buzzing.
The trek up to the Vaishno Devi Bhawan is ofcourse the high light of the series and journey. It is a long trek but the spirit to keep moving on seeing so many Vaishno devi devotees chanting Jai Mata Di is incredible. Dotted with eateries and small shops the trek to Ardh Kuwari and then to the Vaishno Devi Bhawan is an experience which you would want to do every year.
