Question 2

What are some must-visit attractions in Katra included in the package?

Accepted Answer

Katra is essentially famous for Maa Vaishno Devi temple, which is among the most revered places for Hindu devotees. However, there’s a lot more to this beautiful town that you can explore on your trip. From small river streams to crystalline waterfalls and beautiful caves, there are so many places where you can bask in natural beauty. In addition to this, there are several other temples, such as Charan Paduka, Bhairavnath Temple, Raghunath Temple, etc., which are also included in all the Katra holiday packages offered by Veena World.

Question 3

Is it safe to visit Katra during the monsoon season?

Accepted Answer

Since this region receives medium to heavy rainfall, monsoon season is definitely not the best time to visit the Vaishno Devi temple. The seasonal monsoon rain can cause mudslides at times, so reaching there can be a little difficult. However, if you don’t plan to explore the hilly part of the town, you can definitely plan a trip to Katra. At this time, you’ll get to witness the rain-washed beauty of this scenic town. At Veena World, you can find Katra travel packages throughout the year, so you can book one and make your trip hassle-free.

Question 4

What is the best time to visit Katra?

Accepted Answer

Although Katra is a year-round destination, the ideal time to plan a trip is from late September to early December. During this time, the weather remains pleasantly cool. So whether you are planning to visit the Vaishno Devi Temple or some other places in/around Katra, these months are considered the best. With sub-zero temperatures and heavy snowfall, mid-December to June is the shoulder season for Katra tourism. At Veena World, you can find a number of Katra trip packages at all times of the year.
