Kashmir, Vaishnodevi Tour
Kashmir, rightly known as the paradise on earth, is a destination where rejuvenating flowers, blue skies, tranquil lakes, lush gardens and romantic aura speak to you in a heavenly language. Basking in the rays of beauty, it offers salubrious climate, snow-capped mountains, romance in the air, bewitching valleys, beautiful temples, exotic wildlife, adventure sports and interesting houseboats. It clearly is a destination that is popular with both national and international tourists.
One destination at this wonderful land, that is the epitome of sheer beauty is Srinagar(hill station). It is the most visited touristic place in the state, and is a home to a variety of tourist attractions. A favorite of nature lovers, this place offers great opportunities to experience nature at its best. Another wonderful tourist spot here is the Dal Lake dotted with traditional houseboats and floating gardens. This lake is also surrounded by extremely beautiful Mughal gardens giving a sense of refreshment to the soul. Other fascinating hill stations here, which are worth visiting are Leh, Pahalgam, Gulmarg and Sonamarg.
Vaishno Devi darshan is a visit to the holy shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi. Indian Spiritual tradition has propounded four Purusharth (objectives) of a human life. These are Dharm (Righteousness), Arth (Material Pursuits), Kaam (Contentment) and Moksh (Enlightenment). Mata vaishno devi is believed to grant all these four boons to those who visit Her Holy Shrine. She is considered to fulfill anything and everything that a person wishes for, in a righteous way. It is an experience of all, that no one goes empty handed from Her Great Pilgrimage. The journey (or yatra) to the Holy Shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi is thus an enchanting journey of the places where Mata had spent some time while observing various spiritual disciplines and penances. The culmination of this journey is at the Holy Cave where She merged Her Human form with the astral form of Her creators, the three Supreme Energies.
