- Start the climb early. Starting before sunrise helps you avoid the heat and the longest queues.
- Pack light. Leave heavy bags at the hotel and carry only water, a light jacket, ID and your yatra slip.
- Wear comfortable shoes. Sports shoes or sandals with a good grip work best on the track.
- Know the carry rules. The Shrine Board restricts some items in the cave area, and cloakrooms are available at the Bhawan.
- Respect local customs. Dress modestly at the shrine and follow the instructions of the Shrine Board staff.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for train timings, weather or darshan queues. Extra stay caused by weather, train delays or closures is payable by the guest. See also our Vaishno Devi guidelines and Vaishno Devi darshan times.
