Hello,
@Taj, welcome to the forum!
Overview
Reaching the holy shrine of the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji is not an easy task. Still, many pilgrims undertake this journey to get the blessings of the Mata Vaishno Devi. Located in a hillock in Katra, the whole distance covered is around 13 kilometres. If you'd be visiting the shrine of Bhairon Ghati, that is another 1.5 kilometres to cover. Although the journey is very comfortable owing to the number of facilities and amenities along the way, those who are very old and not physically fit might find it challenging to reach the holy shrine. As such, viewing of the live aartis and darshans through online portals and even television channels are their best options, to be bestowed the blessings of the goddess even at the comfort of their own homes.
