What’s your budget? The first point to determine before looking for hotels is to set your budget. Since the Vaishno Devi shrine attracts pilgrims from across India and the world, there are many different types of hotels available. If you’re looking for accommodation on a limited budget, there are a number of homestays and 3-star hotels you can choose from. On the other hand, if budget is not a constraint, take a look at the luxury, 5-star properties in Katra. What facilities do you need? Who are you travelling with?
