Hotel Vaishno Devi Heights

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent property. Very clean. Great views of the mountains and the main shrine from here. This property is run well by Balvinder, Kuldeep, and Tilak Raj Singh. Great work by Shyamlal and Vikas. This location is close to the Katra market. I got dropped off at Banganga for Mata Vaishnodevi Darshan, and to the the Airport through them. IBoth Prahlad and Amandeep Singh are awesome drivers. I highly recommend this place and the services. Jai Mata Di! "
