Quick answer
The Bhairon (Bhairo Nath) Temple sits on the ridge above the Vaishno Devi Bhawan; many pilgrims consider the yatra complete only after visiting it. A passenger ropeway links the Bhawan to Bhairon Ghati in about three minutes, sparing a steep climb. Views over the Trikuta hills are wide on a clear day.
