Tips
Transport Hack: As of January 1, 2026, all e-rickshaws must be registered and follow fixed-fare routes. Expect to pay ₹10 for short hops (like Chhatikara to Vaishno Devi Temple) and ₹20 for longer stretches (like Multilevel Parking to Kalidah).
Avoid Scams: Never pay for “VIP Darshan” to unauthorized guides. While some temples have official VIP lines for ₹100 – ₹300, many “agents” will try to overcharge you.
Stay Near the Action: Book dharamshalas or budget hotels near the Parikrama Marg or ISKCON to save on late-night rickshaw fares. Rooms start as low as ₹543 per night if booked in advance.
