Vaishno Devi Patnitop Package from Delhi
A 5 days 4 nights plan for travellers starting in Delhi. You take the train to Katra, complete the yatra, and spend two relaxed nights in Patnitop before the return train from Jammu. Train fare is extra.
Vaishno Devi Patnitop Package from Delhi Overview
From Delhi the easiest way to reach Katra is by train, and this plan is built around that. You travel to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, spend two nights there for the yatra, then drive to Patnitop for two nights in the hills. A second night at Patnitop leaves time for Sanasar and Naag Mandir without rushing, and you are dropped at Jammu Tawi for the train back to Delhi.
The land package covers hotels, meals, an AC cab and yatra registration. Train tickets are not included, but we can book them for you. Delhi to Katra takes roughly 8 to 12 hours depending on the train, so check timings early, especially in peak season. If you prefer to fly, see our Vaishno Devi package from Delhi by air.
₹14,900 per person, twin sharing, plus train fare

Travel Tips and Guidelines
- Book trains early. Direct trains between Delhi and Katra fill quickly in peak months, so plan your dates and booking well ahead.
- 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.
- Pack for the hills. Patnitop is cool even in summer and cold in winter, with a chance of snow from December to February.
- 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.
How to Reach and Best Time to Visit
| Mode | Gateway | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Train | Delhi to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra | Direct trains, about 8 to 12 hours |
| Air | Delhi to Jammu Airport | About 1 hour 10 minutes in the air, then about 50 km to Katra by road |
| Road | Katra to Patnitop | About 95 km, around 3 to 4 hours |
| Road | Patnitop to Jammu | About 110 km, around 3 to 4 hours |
The shrine is open all year. March to June and September to November are the most comfortable months. Winter brings snow to Patnitop, which many travellers enjoy, but trains and roads can run late, so leave spare time on the way back. Navratri and school holidays are the busiest.
