About the trip
The Mother's darshan, then the valley.
This trip joins the north's two great draws — the pilgrimage to Mata Vaishno Devi and the beauty of the Kashmir valley — into one seamless drive from Kangra. You climb to the Mata's cave above Katra first, then carry on over the Pir Panjal to Srinagar.
In the valley there are the shikaras and houseboats of Dal Lake, the high meadow and gondola of Gulmarg, the Lidder valley at Pahalgam and the glacier road at Sonmarg. One car and driver stay with you from the yatra to the last garden and home.
