Lights of Vaishnodevi mountain from katra
Walking up to the Bhawan from Katra,a distance of 12 km,is strenuous for infirm,elderly,mothers with small babies,overwts,recently operated etc, but by no means impossible.A firm sense of purpose,a light walking stick of optimum length,steady speed with medium step, a light supper,light clothes and having 1 to3 gulps water or soft drinks now and then are the things required.Start at 6pm,reaching Bhawan at about 1 to2 am beginning descent 15 to20 min after darshan. Descent is more painful specially for overwts and physically unfit because of constant pressure on lower limb musculature to retard momentum down an incline,so should be slower interspersed with more periods of rest.Use of stairs also helps.
In the foreground are the hotels of Katra while in the background is the Trikut mountain with the lights indicating the path to the Vaishnodevi temple also called the Bhawan.
