About Amritsar Airport (ATQ)

Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (IATA: ATQ) in Amritsar is the primary landing point for millions of Vaishno Devi pilgrims arriving from the UK, Canada, Dubai, Singapore, and major Indian metros. A direct cab from ATQ to Katra eliminates the alternative — three separate legs of transport (cab to Amritsar city, train to Jammu, vehicle to Katra) with luggage handling at each step. One TaxiBazaar booking covers the entire 280 km journey in 5 hours.

A pre-booked TaxiBazaar cab from Amritsar Airport to Katra gives you a fixed fare, driver at arrivals with name board, and free flight monitoring. No Navratri surcharges, no festival premiums — the price at booking is the price you pay.

About the Destination

About Katra — Base Camp of Mata Vaishno Devi

Katra is a vibrant pilgrim town in Reasi district, J&K, nestled at the foothills of the Trikuta Mountains at about 760 metres. It serves as the base camp and primary entry point for the Vaishno Devi shrine — one of the holiest Hindu temples in India and the second most visited religious site in the world. Over 8 million pilgrims visit Mata Vaishno Devi every year, and nearly all pass through Katra.

From Katra, pilgrims trek approximately 14 km to the holy cave shrine, or travel by pony, palki, or helicopter. The town is well-equipped with hotels of all categories, dozens of dharamshalas, restaurants serving sattvic food, and shops selling pooja essentials. The Jammu–Katra Expressway (inaugurated 2017) has reduced the Jammu–Katra leg to under one hour from what once took 2+ hours.

What Passengers Say

★★★★★

Flew in from Birmingham for Vaishno Devi. Pre-booked TaxiBazaar Innova Crysta for 7 people. Driver was at arrivals with a name board, helped with all 9 bags, and had us at our hotel in Katra in exactly 5 hours. Jai Mata Di — and thank you TaxiBazaar!

My flight was delayed 2 hours but TaxiBazaar driver was tracking it and still waited without any fuss. I was worried about making my darshan slot but he drove professionally and we arrived with time to spare. The live tracking link I shared with my family gave everyone peace of mind.

Travelling with my 80-year-old mother and two young children. The driver was incredibly patient — stopped when needed, helped my mother in and out of the Innova at every stop, and knew which approach road goes closest to the hotel near Banganga. Outstanding care.
