In a cool and pleasant early morning we climbed the hill riding on ponies, assisted by the pony-owners. The pony-owners were kind and helpful, they live in houses that are quite far from Katra and they stay near the Vaisno Devi temple and work with the govt. to take people to the temple. All of them carried Id cards.
The pony I was riding was called Chamak-challo and the owner's name was Younis. Irrespective of their religion, people there greet each other saying "Jai Matha Di".We also met a kannada officer in one of the many check posts we went through, he told us that there were a lot of kannadigas in Kashmir!

vaishnodevi is a beautiful place and nav devi,water fall is a nice place to visit. I especially love its atmosphere at night. I though loved the temple of Mata vaishno devi the most. The views from the top are enchanting.
