Pilgrimage

Vaishno Devi & Golden Temple

A deeply popular twin pilgrimage — Mata Vaishno Devi, the Shakti shrine high in the Trikuta hills (12km trek from Katra), and the Golden Temple at Amritsar, the holiest gurudwara of Sikhism. Anandpur Sahib in Punjab adds the Khalsa's birthplace to the trail.
