How to Reach Katra

Once you have selected your preferred way for How to Reach Vaishno Devi and landed in the holy city of Jammu; then your next stoppage for Mata Bhawan would be Katra. The distance between Jammu and Katra is about 50 Km. Katra serves as a base camp in the journey towards Maa Vaishno Devi. As the Bhawan of Mata Vaishno Devi is in the hills of the Trikuta Mountain, thus most of the devotees rests and stay at Katra before commencing their onward journey for Vaishno Bhawan.

It is a strong belief by the devotees of Mata that the holy tour to Vaishno Devi starts after the "Call of Mata". You may analyze this to be an outcome of faith but it is more than a simple belief and many pilgrims have gained personal experiences regarding this "Call of Mata". Devotees feel that when Mata calls them, they are bound to visit Vaishno Devi, to get pampered with her love and blessings. On the contrary it is also believed that you can't take the Darshan if you do not get the "Call of Mata", irrespective of your high social status.
