Vaishno Devi is a folk manifestation of the Supreme Hindu Mother Goddess, Adishakti also referred to as Durga. The words "Maa" and "Mata" are commonly used in India for mother, and thus are often heavily used in connection with Vaishno Devi.

"Excellent experience. Bhavesh Vichare and Sumit Gurkhe, the tour managers, did a good job of planning and carrying it out. Bhavesh is quite knowledgeable. Every time, he provided an exciting explanation. He is, in my opinion, a benefit to Global Duniya. Sumit Gurkhe is also being prepared for one.
"The tour was expertly organised by a tour manager who was both professional and passionate about what they did. I have made the decision that, going forward, I would only travel with Global Duniya because, as a senior citizen, I felt safe and secure doing so.
"It was an amazing experience. The tour managers, Mr. Atul Palkar and Mr. Rahull Gorge, are good people and they used to take care of us all properly. There was no inconvenience caused from their sides. The surroundings and environment was completely like a family. Speaking of tour manager Mr. Rahul Gorge, he is a humble, down to earth, nice guy. He is a responsible person, caring, always lending his hands to help the people around as well as he has a good command.
"The tour was amazing... The hotels and meals were excellent. Akshay Gaikwad and Aakash Mhamunkar are excellent tour guides. They did a great job of explaining the history of every place. Every day, they efficiently manage the tour. Because of this, based on my tour itinerary, I thoroughly liked every location on every day. The behaviour of both tour guides is excellent. Really, I had a great time on the entire tour with both tour leaders and all the couples. I hope to go with these two tour guides again in the future.
"This was my first tour with Volkswagen, and it was an incredible experience. From the beginning to the finish of the tour, Bhavesh and Kunal, the tour manager, provided excellent assistance. They provided a wealth of knowledge on Kashmir. They provided enough time for photos as well. Throughout the tour, they were caring for each and every visitor. This was my ideal trip, and it was fearlessly successful (which I had in the beginning of tour). I want to express my gratitude to VW for a beautifcul dream tour. My sincere gratitude to Kunal and Bhavesh. My upcoming journey will be with GD.
