Resorts in Katra

Katra, the gateway town to the Vaishno Devi shrine, is home to 2 full-service resorts suited for events ranging from intimate corporate retreats to large-scale celebrations. Both properties are positioned across the localities of Manun and Kakryal, offering self-contained settings with a distinct Trikuta Hills backdrop that sets the tone well before any event begins. The venue mix here spans lawns, banquet halls, boardrooms, poolside spaces, and grand ballrooms — a notably varied spread for a town of this size.

The Resorts Available

Vivanta Katra, Vaishno Devi and Katra Marriott Resort & Spa are the two resorts currently listed on Spalba for this city. Both are full-service properties offering multiple event spaces under one roof. Vivanta Katra, Vaishno Devi brings a curated hospitality experience consistent with the Taj brand, while the Katra Marriott Resort & Spa delivers internationally standardised facilities alongside its spa and leisure amenities. Together, they represent the most capable event infrastructure available within Katra's resort segment.

Venue Types and Spaces

Across these two resorts, the event spaces include Lawn areas, a Banquet Hall, a Boardroom, a Poolside Lawn, and dedicated named halls such as Trikuta 2 and the Trikuta Ballroom. This range means a single resort can accommodate a boardroom session for a small leadership team in the morning and transition to a large banquet-format dinner by evening — all within the same property. The Trikuta Ballroom, in particular, signals the kind of large-format capacity that is rarely available in smaller hillside towns.

Capacity: From Small Groups to Large Gatherings

Capacities across Katra's resorts run from a minimum of 12 guests up to 1,000, with the typical event range sitting between 200 and 800 guests. Notably, both resorts carry spaces that work for intimate gatherings under 200, and both also have configurations that can host groups above 600 — which means the same property can flex considerably depending on the event format. Spalba's 3D virtual tours allow planners to assess each space before making contact with the venue, which is especially useful when coordinating an event from outside the city. For events at the smaller end, the Boardroom format is the natural fit; for larger occasions, the Trikuta Ballroom and open lawns come into play.

Where These Resorts Are Located

The two resorts are spread across Manun and Kakryal — both localities within accessible distance of the main Katra town centre and the Vaishno Devi base camp. This positioning makes them practical for groups arriving from Jammu or other nearby regions, with proximity to the town's transport links.
