Vaishno Devi Yatra with Shiv Khori and Patnitop

This Vaishno Devi Yatra with Shiv Khori and Patnitop is a five-day, four-night pilgrimage from Jammu, priced from ₹ 14,900 per person. It gives a full day to Mata Vaishno Devi Bhawan in the Trikuta Hills, where the three natural pindis are worshipped as Maha Kali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswati, and adds the Shiv Khori cave shrine of Lord Shiva and a night of rest at Patnitop.

You are picked up at Jammu Airport, Jammu Tawi or the agreed point and driven to Katra on Day 1, which is kept light for rest and for help with Yatra registration and the RFID Yatra Access Card. Day 2 is the yatra itself: the walk of roughly 12-13 km one way from Katra to Bhawan past points such as Banganga, Charan Paduka, Ardhkuwari and Sanjichhat, darshan at the holy cave, then Bhairon Ji on foot or by ropeway. Those who prefer can use the helicopter, pony, palki, pithoo or battery car, booked separately through official channels. Day 3 is an excursion to Ransoo for the walk to the Shiv Khori cave, with possible stops in Reasi district such as Baba Dhansar. Day 4 is the drive to Patnitop for the Nag Temple area and viewpoints, and Day 5 returns to Jammu, with Raghunath Temple if time allows, before departure. Read our Vaishno Devi trek guide before you go.

Included are three nights in Katra and one in Patnitop, four breakfasts and four dinners, a private AC vehicle, the hotel transfer to Banganga, Tarakote or the Katra helipad, tolls and parking, and 24x7 support. Helicopter, ropeway, battery car, pony and palki fares, lunch and special puja costs are not included. March to June and September to November are the most comfortable months, though the Vaishno Devi Yatra runs all year subject to conditions.
