Vaishno Devi with Kashmir Tour Package
A compact 6 days 5 nights trip that adds Srinagar, Dal Lake and Gulmarg to your Mata Vaishno Devi darshan. A shorter way to see Kashmir than the full 7 to 9 day circuits.
Vaishno Devi with Kashmir Tour Package Overview
This is the short version of a Vaishno Devi and Kashmir trip. It keeps the two nights at Katra for the yatra, and spends three nights in the valley on Srinagar, Dal Lake and Gulmarg. It leaves out Pahalgam, so the pace is easier and the cost is lower than the longer circuits.
It suits pilgrims who want a taste of Kashmir without taking more than a week off. The drive from Katra to Srinagar is long, so we start early, plan a comfortable AC vehicle and keep a rest evening in Srinagar. If you want Pahalgam, we can add a night.
₹26,500 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 warm clothes. Gulmarg is cold even in summer and snowy from November to March. Pack layers, gloves and sturdy shoes.
- Carry valid ID. Keep your photo ID handy for hotel check-ins and highway security checks.
- Allow for road delays. The Jammu to Srinagar highway can be slowed by rain, landslides and snow. Avoid tight onward connections.
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
