Disclaimer — Vaishno Devi Devasthan
Last updated: 1 January 2026
1. Independent Pilgrim Portal
Vaishnodevidevasthan.org.in is an independent, volunteer-run pilgrim information service. We are not the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board (SMVDSB), nor a government entity, nor a licensed travel agent. We exist to help first-time and returning pilgrims plan their yatra using clear, plain-language information.
2. Always Cross-Verify Critical Information
Yatra timings, helicopter fares, ropeway hours and dress code rules may change at any time. Before you travel, always check the latest information from:
- The official Shrine Board portal: maavaishnodevi.org
- The official 24×7 toll-free helpline: 1800-180-7198
3. Imagery
Some images on this site are illustrative and may be AI-generated or representative photography used to convey the atmosphere of the shrine. They are not always documentary photographs of the exact spot described. The original Holy Cave does not permit photography of the sanctum.
4. Advertising
This site may display Google AdSense and other ads. Ads are auto-served by Google and do not constitute an endorsement by our editorial team. Please report any inappropriate ad to editor@vaishnodevidevasthan.org.in
5. Affiliate Links
We may, in future, link to hotel booking sites or train ticket aggregators. Where such links are affiliate-monetised, we will explicitly mark them. We do not affiliate with the official SMVDSB booking flow — it remains free.
6. Medical & Safety
The information here is not medical advice. Pilgrims with health conditions should consult a doctor before attempting the trek. We are not liable for any injury, illness or loss during the yatra.
7. Religious Sensitivity
Every effort is made to present religious content respectfully. If any reader feels content misrepresents tradition, please write to us — we will review & correct promptly.
8. Trademarks
“Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board”, “Mata Vaishno Devi”, “SMVDSB” and related marks belong to their respective owners. Use on this site is descriptive and non-commercial.
