A stay built for the Yatra

A quiet base in Katra for your Mata Vaishno Devi Yatra

Every year, thousands of devotees pass through Katra on their way to the Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine. Niharika Bhawan was built to give them a clean, comfortable and unhurried place to rest — before and after the climb through the Trikuta hills.

"We treat every guest the way we'd want our own family looked after, on the night before the darshan."

In guests' own words

"We reached Katra late at night after the train was delayed, and the staff at Niharika Bhawan still had our room ready and the water hot. Small thing, but it mattered after a long journey."
