Long Way To Katra

Mata Vaishnodevi

  After my mummy came visiting the temple and showed me the pictures I was very excited to visit the place and then Atlast after 2 years she took me to Katra.

A place where we have to walk kilometers to reach the temple. We all had decided that we will not go by walking so long way. There were Helicopter services to reach up near the temple. We had already booked from Goa itself, as we were walking to reach near the helipad looking at people and their childrens with them going walking and singing songs of Mata with lot of energy inspired all of us and we decided if they can walk then why not we. Even Horses and palki service were dropping people after reaching 13 kilometre because more up they were not allowed.

By 9 clock in the morning we started to walk it was 17 kilometer hilly way from down to reach up near the temple. While walking the sticks of 20 rupees were given to us and that stick while returning down we had to give them back and take our money back. On the way while walking their were lot many shops on the way if we are hungry than we can take something and eat as it was long way to walk.

 We reached in the temple at 5:00 pm in the evening, eight hours we walked up and it was just unbelievable moment. As we all were tired of walking we decided that will not walk more and  take horse service to come down. By 10:30 pm in the night we reached down.

 First time in our life we walked so much it was life time experience ever had.
