About the Amritsar to Katra transfer

Amritsar to Katra (Vaishno Devi) is a 220 km road journey that normally takes 4h – 5h 10m, depending on traffic, weather and how many stops you make. We run it as a private transfer: one car, one driver, your pickup time — not a shared vehicle and not a meter.

The base town for the Vaishno Devi yatra, at the foot of the Trikuta hills. Common drop points include Katra bus stand, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra railway station, Katra hotels, and we are happy to drop anywhere else in and around Katra.

Pickups run 24 hours a day. Early starts, post-midnight departures and long single-day drives are routine work for our drivers, and every car carries bottled water, phone charging and space for full-size luggage.

At 220 km this route also works well as a same-day return — we can wait at Katra while you finish your business, sightseeing or darshan and bring you back the same evening. Ask for a wait-and-return quote when you book.

Your fare is quoted upfront and includes fuel, tolls, state permits and driver allowance. You pay online when you book, and you receive the driver's name and number before pickup.
