Travel Information
Katra is an integral part of the journey to Vaishno devi. A deluxe bus from Jammu takes one to the first halt at Nagrota, 13 km away. Known as Pehla Darshan (First Sighting), it is said that Vaishno Devi was first sighted here when she was barely five years old. The spot is sanctified by a stone temple believed to have been built by the Pandavas during their exile.
The next stop is at the Jammu and Kashmir Tourism Development Corporation (JKTDC) Tourist Bungalow at Katra, which is perched at 900 meters above sea level. The actual yatra starts at Katra, from where pilgrims are required to cover an arduous stretch of 13 km either on foot or by ponies.
The journey begins with the procurement of the yatra slip from the tourism reception center at the Katra bus stand. The slip, which comes free of cost, is nevertheless vital to initiate the pilgrimage. Pilgrims carry on with the journey by saying "Jai Mata Di" while moving up to the Bhavan.
