These temple is most famous or you can say as it's a 2nd temple in India where most peolpp visit in one day only after Tirupati Balaji temple in south because of beautiful location the temple is situated in Tirkute parwat it's the name of Mountain. These temple was made by the Pandava in dhupar Yug it's an oldest temple in India. The Yatra of Mata Vaishno Devi is full of enjoyment with zipzap route in Yatra Dakshani Darwaja is the place from there the Yatra start. The Yatra is  14-15     km while in Yatra you get all the facilities from food to place for rest to medical facility everything you can also start Yatra by taking horse Pullar , pitchu, and battery car from Adikumari to Bhavan lot of place will come in the Yatra  first is Ban-ganga  many devotees take bath in that holy river and start Yatra as per the mythology the goddess Durga created a tributary with bow and arrow and the river ushed out from land .
