Vaishno Devi Taxi from Srinagar: Planning Your Yatra Trip
By BlueKash Taxi Editorial Team · 05 Mar 2026 · 1 views
Many of our guests combine a Kashmir holiday with a Vaishno Devi darshan on the way home. Katra, the base town for the Yatra, is roughly 285 km from Srinagar via the Jammu highway — a full-day drive.
Should you break the journey?
Yes — most travellers halt overnight in Jammu or along the highway rather than attempting Srinagar–Katra in one stretch, particularly with children or elderly family members.
What to book
An SUV (Innova or Innova Crysta) is the most comfortable option for this route given the highway driving hours. See our Vaishno Devi taxi page for current one-way and round-trip fares.
