Katra & Patnitop Kashmir Tour Package
Katra Kashmir Tour Package
Combine your Vaishno Devi pilgrimage in Katra with a Kashmir tour — travelling onward through Patnitop to Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam in one continuous trip.
Why Combine These Trips
Katra, Patnitop & Kashmir On One Itinerary
Katra and Srinagar sit along the same highway corridor, which makes it practical to complete the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage first and continue directly into Kashmir without a separate trip. The journey between the two passes through Patnitop, a hill town that many travellers use as a comfortable overnight stop.
This route works well for families and groups who want to cover both a pilgrimage and a leisure destination in a single, well-planned journey rather than travelling to Jammu & Kashmir twice.
- Vaishno Devi pilgrimage in Katra
- Optional overnight stop in Patnitop
- Onward road journey to Srinagar via the Jawahar Tunnel

Frequently Asked
Katra To Kashmir: Common Questions
Can I combine Vaishno Devi and Kashmir in one trip?
Yes, this is a common combination. Many travellers complete the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage from Katra and then continue on to Kashmir by road, often stopping at Patnitop along the way.
How far is Katra from Srinagar?
Katra to Srinagar is a full day's drive along the Jammu-Srinagar highway, passing through Patnitop and the Pir Panjal range via the Jawahar Tunnel. Most itineraries treat this as one travel day.
Should I stop at Patnitop on the way to Kashmir?
Patnitop is a natural stopping point roughly midway on the Katra-to-Srinagar route, and some travellers choose to break the journey there overnight to make the drive more comfortable, especially with children or elderly family members.
How many days should a Katra to Kashmir trip be?
A typical combined trip runs 8 to 10 days: 2 to 3 days for Vaishno Devi in Katra, 1 day for the road journey to Kashmir (with an optional Patnitop stop), and 5 to 6 days covering Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam.
Can SS Travels arrange transport for the Katra to Kashmir journey?
Yes. We arrange a private vehicle for the Katra-to-Srinagar road journey, including a Patnitop stop if you'd like one, as part of a combined Katra Kashmir tour package.
