Under the patronage of Shri Mata Vaishnodevi ✨

  After a break of 5 years, I'm back with a beautiful and reminiscing trip to Shri Mata Vaishnodevi, Katra. It was a long, throned wish to visit the temple, which finally got fulfilled after a wait of 17 years. As the name suggests, Vaishnodevi is a pilgrimage spot in the Trikuta Mountains of Jammu and Kashmir, which is amongst the toughest trek pilgrims undertake at 5,200 feet after an arduous journey of 14 kms. Vaishnodevi is one of the incarnations of Goddess Lakshmi. It is one of the most visited pilgrimage spots in India. So this was a family trip starting  from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, through Malwa Express, a direct train departing at 12:15 PM to Katra, taking approximately 30 hours to reach the destination. We saw scenic landscapes throughout the journey as we crossed 5 states, MP, UP, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab, to finally arrive in Jammu and Kashmir. We arrived at Katra the next day's evening and headed to our hotel (The Vaishvik), close to the hike's starting point

Soulful weekend getaway at Sanchi!

Image
  Elated by the response I received on my previous blog, I'm back with yet another exciting and short travel story of  Sanchi, Madhya Pradesh. Sanchi is famous for the world heritage site, The Sanchi Stupa, 40 kms from Bhopal.  So, Sanchi is just an hour's drive from Bhopal and is among my go-to places on weekends. You can visit there with your friends and family for a peaceful time as the surrounding is serene. Moreover, it's an excellent place for planning a picnic as there is ample garden space to sit and have your favourite meal. Sanchi can also be reached by train as it has its own railway station and excellent connectivity with primary locations in the country. We left for Sanchi around 2:00 PM and reached there by 3:30 PM. We visited the whole premises and sat there to witness the sunset. The Stupas are situated on a hill, so you can see the entire city while you're there, and the city looks beautiful at dusk.  Interestingly, the Rs. 200 note of Indian Currency h
