A slow morning in Katra and the journey home, or a stop in Jammu on the way. Train or flight back to Jaipur from Jammu.

Know before you book Vaishno Devi & Katra

Katra to the Bhawan
About 12 to 13 km on foot, roughly 5 to 8 hours
Nearest airport
Jammu, about 50 km from Katra

Register for the yatra before you leave home, and start the walk in the evening or very early morning. The route is paved and well lit, but the day heat and the queue at the Bhawan are what tire people out, not the distance.
