Most pilgrims stay in Naina Devi town at the base, where the temple trust runs sarais and dharamshalas and small hotels cluster near the bus stand. Anandpur Sahib and Kiratpur Sahib, roughly 20 to 30 km away, offer more rooms, gurdwara sarais and eateries, and Bilaspur town has hotels by Gobind Sagar. Many travellers do Naina Devi as a day trip from Anandpur Sahib or Chandigarh.
The simplest base is Naina Devi town at the foot of the sanctum, where the temple trust operates sarais and dharamshalas aimed at pilgrims and a handful of small hotels sit near the bus stand. These fill fast on mela and Navratri dates, so book ahead or plan to stay lower down.
For more choice, Anandpur Sahib and Kiratpur Sahib, about 20 to 30 km away, offer additional hotels, gurdwara sarais and dhabas, and pair naturally with a visit to the Sikh shrines there. Bilaspur town, on the Gobind Sagar shore, has its own hotels and is an option for those approaching from the Himachal side. Many visitors skip an overnight stay altogether and do Naina Devi as a day trip from Anandpur Sahib or even Chandigarh.
