Amritsar Vaishno Devi Kochi to the Trikuta Hills
The Golden Temple and the Wagah ceremony on day one, the long road north to Katra, a full day for the climb to the Vaishno Devi cave, and a Jammu day of temple, palace and fort before the flight home.
Return flights, four nights in AC rooms on twin sharing, veg and non-veg meals, an AC deluxe coach and all entry charges — with a Fortune tour escort on the group.
The Journey in One Look.
The tour runs 5 days and 4 nights on set departures from Cochin, with return economy class flight tickets from Cochin to Amritsar and back. Nights fall as 1 in Amritsar, 2 in Katra and 1 in Jammu, all in AC rooms on twin sharing as per the itinerary. Veg and non-veg meals are served as per the itinerary, with one litre of drinking water per person per day. An AC deluxe coach carries the group across the full route, all entry charges listed in the itinerary are covered, and a tour escort from Fortune Tours travels with the group throughout. This is a domestic journey, so a valid government photo ID travels in place of a passport.

On arrival, the day begins in the old city at the Golden Temple, also called Harmandir Sahib, followed by Jallianwala Bagh nearby.
