Trip Overview
This thoughtfully designed 2-day package gives you a comfortable night in Jammu before your Vaishno Devi darshan, ensuring you are well-rested for the spiritual journey ahead. Day 1 begins with your arrival in Jammu and check-in at the premium Vivanta Jammu, City Centre. The afternoon is free to explore Jammu's rich heritage — the iconic Raghunath Temple in the city centre, the ancient Bahu Fort with its beautiful Bagh-e-Bahu gardens, and the mystical Ranbireshwar Temple. On Day 2, proceed to Vaishno Devi by the Same Day Return (SDR) helicopter from Jammu Helipad. The helicopter whisks you over the Trikuta Hills to Bhawan, where you enjoy priority darshan at the sacred cave enshrining the three Pindis of Mata. Ropeway to Bhaironji temple and priority darshan there rounds out the complete pilgrimage circuit. Lunch and a Prasad box are included. Return to Jammu by helicopter and drop at airport/station. This package perfectly balances sightseeing in Jammu with the divine Vaishno Devi experience.
