The Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has launched a new tourist package called Mata Vaishno Devi, Haridwar and Rishikesh for the Bharat Gaurav train. The Bharat Gaurav train has consistently received a 100% positive response over the South Central Railway zone. This 8-night, 9-day package covers important pilgrim and historical places in North India, with stoppages in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. It also includes Vaishno Devi temple darshan. However, tourists who wish to travel from Katara to the temple by either pony or doli or helicopter service need to book it independently.

The package includes all travel facilities, accommodation, and catering arrangements. For more details, one can visit the IRCTC website or call 9701360701 or 8287932228 or 9110712752.
