Vaishno Devi Package for Family
A 3 days 2 nights Vaishno Devi package planned for families: family rooms, a comfortable cab, easy options for children and senior citizens, and a calm pace.
Vaishno Devi Family Package Overview
Families travel at the speed of the slowest member, so this plan leaves room for rests. You stay in family rooms near the Katra market, climb with options for children and grandparents, and have a full day to recover before leaving.
We ask for each traveller's age and mobility in advance and plan the vehicle, rooms and climb options to match. For children, a carrier, pony or palki can help. For older members, a palki, battery car or helicopter is common.
₹7,500 per person, twin sharing

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 the 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.
- Carry ID for every member. Every traveller, including children, needs ID for registration and travel.
- Keep snacks and water. Children and seniors tire quickly. Carry light snacks, water and basic medicines.
- Decide the climb together. Agree before you start who will walk, who will ride, and where you will meet.
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.
How to Reach and Best Time to Visit
| Mode | Gateway | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Train | Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra | Direct trains from Delhi and several cities |
| Air | Jammu Airport (about 50 km from Katra) | Fastest option from Delhi and other metros |
| Road | Jammu to Katra | About 50 km, around 1.5 to 2 hours |
The shrine is open all year. March to June and September to November are the most comfortable months for the climb. Winter brings cold nights and sometimes fog or snow, and Navratri and school holidays are the busiest, so book your dates early.
