Asia Vaishno Devi

You’ll find us on Jammu Road, right in the mix of things for anyone headed toward the shrine. Our place is called Asia Vaishno Devi. We’ve been here at this 182301 address for quite a while now. The road outside is usually filled with pilgrims and travelers making their way up or coming back down. It’s a specific kind of energy here, especially during the peak seasons when the crowds are thick and the noise is constant. Our day starts pretty early because people traveling for the yatra don’t really stick to a standard schedule. They arrive at all hours. We’re just here to provide a place to rest and maybe get something to eat before they move on. It’s not a complicated business. We have rooms and we try to keep the place decent for whoever stops by. Sometimes the power goes out or the water pressure isn't what it should be, but that’s just life in this part of the country. We don’t have a fancy website or a big marketing plan. We just rely on being in a good spot on Jammu Road where people need us. It’s a family-run kind of vibe, and we all pitch in with the cleaning and the front desk work. We hear a lot of stories from the people passing through about their journey and their lives back home. It’s a simple life, mostly just centered around the road and the people on it every day.
