How
to reach
Adhkunwari
 Adkuwari
is the most important stop en-route Bhawan. Besides its religious
significance, it marks the half way mark on the way to the
Holy Cave.Therefore, most of the pilgrims would like to take
a short break here, have some food or drink and rest for a
while. In keeping with these needs of the yatries, Shri Mata
Vaishno Devi Shrine Board provides all necessary facilities
and amenities to the pilgrims. These include free rest rooms,
drinking water, toilets and bathing facilities, blankets,
cloak rooms, announcements, telephones, refreshments etc.
Besides, free accommodation, self contained and well furnished
rooms are also available on rent. Booking for the same is
done at the Enquiry and Reservation Counter at Katra. The
rented accommodation being limited, therefore it is unlikely
that yatries get spot booking for the same although in case
of availability, spot booking is also possible. The Shrine
Board runs a Bhojanalya which provides wholesome vegetarian
food on a no profit basis. A medical unit equipped with all
necessary medicines and emergency provisions including Oxygen
cylinders is also situated here. A bakery operated by the
Shrine Board is also located here. Banks, STD/PCOs, shops
for general items of use etc. are also available at Adkuwari.
There are a number of private shops offering both traditional
and modern food including ice creams, burgers etc.
