The holy Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine, located in Katra (Jammu), is one of India’s most revered pilgrimage sites, attracting millions of devotees every year. Nestled in the Trikuta Hills at an altitude of about 5,200 ft, the shrine is dedicated to Goddess Vaishno Devi, believed to fulfill the wishes of her devotees. A tour package to Vaishno Devi ensures a comfortable and spiritually enriching journey for pilgrims.

Most Vaishno Devi tour packages include:

• Transportation from Jammu/Katra to the base camp.

• Accommodation in Katra (budget, deluxe, or luxury hotels).

• Assistance with Yatra Registration Slip (mandatory).

• Options for helicopter booking from Katra to Sanjichhat for those who wish to avoid the full trek.

• Guided assistance for darshan and return.

The trek from Katra to Bhawan (the shrine) is about 12 km, and pilgrims can choose to walk, hire ponies, palkis, or use battery-operated vehicles on certain routes. Helicopter services reduce the journey time, making the pilgrimage easier for the elderly and children.

The best time to book a Vaishno Devi Shrine Tour is from March to October when the weather is pleasant, though the shrine remains open year-round. Special packages are also available during Navratri, when the spiritual energy of the shrine is at its peak.

With a Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Tour package, pilgrims not only experience a smooth and well-arranged yatra but also get the opportunity to combine their trip with nearby attractions like Patnitop, Shiv Khori, and Jammu temples.
