From ₹6,500 per person
Overview
Katra is where every Mata Vaishno Devi yatra begins. The helipad, the registration counters and the start of the trek are all in this small hill town, so a package that starts here skips the airport run and puts all your time into darshan and rest.
This package suits pilgrims who reach Katra on their own, by train to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra railway station, by bus or in their own car, and those already staying in town who now want the helicopter sorted. We book the hotel, keep an AC car ready for local movement and try for your helicopter seats the moment the monthly booking window opens.
The helicopter flies from the Katra helipad to Sanjichhat in about six minutes. From Sanjichhat, the Bhawan is roughly 3 km away, around 45 minutes on foot, with ponies available for anyone who cannot walk that far. With a same-day return seat, most families are back at their Katra hotel by evening.
If all you need is the flight itself, our helicopter ticket price page explains the fares. If you want hotel, car and seats handled together, the options below start at ₹6,500 per person.
Helicopter seats for busy dates often go within an hour of booking opening on the 1st of every month. Having us hold your hotel nights around the flight date means you are not left with a seat but no room, or a room but no seat. We also guide you to the right counters on the day, which saves a lot of confusion for first-time visitors.
