Get an upfront quoteAbout the Chandigarh to Katra transfer
Chandigarh to Katra (Vaishno Devi) is a 415 km road journey that normally takes 7h – 9h 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 415 km this is a long single-day drive, so we plan meal and tea stops into the schedule. Many customers book it as a one-way transfer, or as part of a two- or three-day itinerary with the same driver.
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.
