My first trip to Vaishnodevi was unimpressive. Climbing was hard, and it only served to highlight how badly out of shape I was, while my in-laws managed to cope so much better. Further, I hadn’t quite realized that the cave experience wouldn’t be the same as I had imagined, since the original cave was only opened at certain times a year, and that we only entered a newly created tunnel, one far easier to access, and hence more manageable with the crowds that thronged the mountain shrine. The resulting experience at the shrine, for barely a fraction of a second, hardly compared to what I had expected / imagined / heard about. So, for me, Vaishnodevi was like any other temple, nothing to write home about, something that was reflected (though not explicitly mentioned) in the blog post I wrote then.

I am planning to attend the Blog Camp Mumbai, at least part of it. Will you be there?

Hi Anu, somehow the comment I posted didn't go thru-some tech error on my part , I guess ! Blogcamp was indeed an interesting experience. Like reading about unknown places (including less visited temples).Will read your posts at leisure-should definitely be interesting.
