Katra 2 N & Amritsar 2 N.
5 Days / 4 Nights – FIT Tour
Arrive in Jammu (airport/rail/bus/hotel pick-up) and drive through foothill vistas to Katra, base for the Mata Vaishno Devi pilgrimage. Check into your hotel by late morning and relax with tea as mountain breezes set the tone. Evening is free to stroll Katra Market, purchase prasad, walking sticks, or rain ponchos, and finalize your Yatra plan (start time, pony/palki/helicopter as preferred). Dine on simple local fare and rest early for tomorrow’s spiritual ascent. Overnight in Katra.
After an early breakfast, begin the 13 km paved climb from Ban Ganga / Charan Paduka via Ardhkuwari to Vaishno Devi Bhawan. Walk at a steady pace, or choose pony/palki; limited helicopter seats to Sanjichhat may be available (direct payment). On reaching the Bhawan, offer prayers, then—time permitting—continue to Bhairav (Bhairo) Temple to traditionally complete the Yatra. Descend with breaks for hydration and snacks. Return to Katra by evening for a hot meal, gentle stretching, and a peaceful overnight.
Check out after breakfast and drive to Amritsar, watching plains replace hills and mustard fields sweep by. Check into your hotel and freshen up before heading to Wagah Border by 4:00 PM for the stirring Retreat Ceremony—precision marches, flag-lowering, and high-octane patriotism at sunset. Return to the city for a hearty Punjabi dinner—think Amritsari kulcha, lassi, or tandoori treats—before turning in. Overnight in Amritsar.
Start early at the shimmering Golden Temple (Sri Harmandir Sahib); sit for a while by the Sarovar, then partake in the community Langar. Walk to Jallianwala Bagh to pay homage at the martyrs’ memorial, reflecting on India’s history. Post lunch, browse the bustling bazaars for Phulkari, juttis, papad & wadiyan; add the Partition Museum or Durgiana Temple if time allows. Optionally enjoy the Heritage Street illumination after dusk. Return to hotel. Overnight in Amritsar.
After breakfast, check out by 10:00 AM. Squeeze in last-minute purchases or a short revisit to the Golden Temple for quiet reflection. Transfer to Amritsar Airport/Railway Station/Bus Stand for onward travel, carrying blessings from Mata Vaishno Devi and golden memories of Amritsar.
