Vaishno Devi Dalhousie Amritsar Package
A 6 days 5 nights trip that combines darshan of Mata Vaishno Devi at Katra with the hill town of Dalhousie and Khajjiar, then the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and Durgiana Temple in Amritsar. Hotels, meals, AC cab and yatra guidance are planned for you.
Vaishno Devi Dalhousie Amritsar Tour Overview
This package joins a pilgrimage with a mountain break. You begin at Katra, the base town for Mata Vaishno Devi, and visit the holy cave shrine in the Trikuta hills. You then drive to Dalhousie, a quiet Himachal hill town, and see Khajjiar before continuing to Amritsar for Sri Harmandir Sahib, the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and Durgiana Temple.
The plan suits families and senior travellers who want rest after the climb. We take care of hotels, meals, road transfers and local sightseeing, and help with yatra registration so you can concentrate on the darshan. You can walk the full route, use a pony, palki or battery car, or add a helicopter ride to ease the climb.

Travel Tips and Guidelines
- Register before you climb. Every pilgrim needs a yatra registration slip, and each traveller must carry a valid photo ID. We help you complete it at Katra.
- Start early. Leaving Katra before sunrise gives you cooler weather on the climb and shorter queues at Bhawan.
- Travel light. Use the cloakroom facilities for bags. Cameras, large bags and some items are restricted near the shrine, so check the current Shrine Board rules.
- Choose your climb. Seniors and young children can hire a pony, palki or battery car, or take the helicopter. Helicopter seats sell out in peak months, so book early.
- Dress for the Golden Temple. Cover your head and remove your shoes at the entrance. The complex is open through the day, and the langar is free for everyone.
- Pack for the hills. Dalhousie is cool even in summer and cold in winter, so carry warm layers. The hill road has many bends, so keep motion-sickness tablets handy if you need them.
- Check ceremony timings. Wagah-Attari ceremony times change with the season, and the crowd gets large on weekends and holidays. Arrive early if you plan to go.
- Keep buffer time. Rain or snow on the route can delay helicopters and roads, so avoid very tight train or flight connections after the trip.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions or darshan timings. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather or closures is payable by the guest.
