Katra is the base town of the Vaishno Devi shrine — a small hill town where most travellers arrive by taxi and leave the same way. We serve two directions daily: pilgrims heading back to Jammu Airport or Pathankot after darshan, and travellers going onward to Patnitop or Srinagar.
After the darshan climb, most families want to head home or move on. We arrange the return car from Banganga car park with luggage taken care of.
Katra → Patnitop → Srinagar is a very natural continuation. We plan the Kashmir onward route with the same driver.
Our drivers stay at Katra overnight if that's what your itinerary needs — no separate pickup fee for the return leg.
Pickup available from any Katra hotel — around the Banganga car park, the main bazaar, hotels on the New Bus Stand road, and pickups from the helicopter base. Add exact hotel name on WhatsApp and we'll confirm the pickup point.
Send us your pickup point, drop, date, time and passenger count on WhatsApp. Fixed fare in minutes.
