Vaishno Devi Patnitop Amritsar Tour Package
A 6 days 5 nights pilgrimage that links Mata Vaishno Devi, the pine hills of Patnitop and the Golden Temple at Amritsar. Hotels, meals, AC cab and darshan guidance are planned for you.
Vaishno Devi Patnitop Amritsar Tour Overview
This package combines three very different stops in one trip: the holy cave of Mata Vaishno Devi at Katra, a night in the pine-covered hills of Patnitop, and two days in Amritsar for the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and the Wagah border ceremony. It is a popular way to cover Jammu and Punjab together without planning separate trips.
The long drive from Patnitop to Amritsar is the one tiring day, so we start early and plan stops on the way. We take care of hotels, meals, an AC cab and yatra registration. For a shorter version without Patnitop, see our Vaishno Devi with Amritsar package.
₹18,500 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.
- Dress for the Golden Temple. Cover your head and remove your shoes at the entrance. Scarves are usually available at the gate.
- Start early for Amritsar. The Patnitop to Amritsar drive is long, so leave soon after breakfast to reach in the evening.
- Check the Wagah timings. The ceremony time changes with the season and security rules, so confirm it on the day.
- Keep buffer time. Rain or snow can delay roads, trains and helicopters, so avoid very tight 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.
