Holiday Inn Katra has introduced the ‘Katra Divine Retreat,’ a year-round experience designed to provide a transformative journey that blends spiritual exploration with the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The retreat offers guests a pure vegetarian culinary experience while enjoying comfortable accommodations and thoughtfully curated local activities.
Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed with a crafted traditional Vaishno Devi Matha Patika and a fragrant cup of kahwa. They can choose the mountain-view and shrine-view rooms for a peaceful escape that complements their spiritual pilgrimage. The package includes a three-night/four-day stay with breakfast and lunch/dinner spreads.
Guests can savour traditional flavours with the Dogri Thali offering a selection of local dishes, including chane ka madra, ambal, bhujia chana, akhrot chutney, khamere, and dogri malai paneer, capturing the essence of the region. After their visit to the Vaishno Devi shrine, guests can enhance their stay with our one-day tours. The three options include, Patnitop, Shiv Khori or the Chenab Rail Bridge.
Ritesh Sharma, General Manager, Holiday Inn Katra, stated, “A visit to Vaishno Devi is just the beginning of a remarkable journey. We are committed to fostering local tourism that appeals to millennials and Gen Z. We encourage them to discover the rich cultural and natural treasures of Katra. Our goal with the Katra Divine Retreat is to create a vibrant experience that resonates with younger generations, inspiring them to connect deeply with both spirituality and the stunning landscapes of this region.”
