trip to vaishnodevi and kashmir

Can you guide me about the bus timing and fare from jammu to katra and back from jammu to srinagar. Want to stay for 5/6 days in kashmir, best options available without spending too much.

Can you also guide me about the aarti at vaishnodevi.

Jammu to Katra there are a lot of buses. No need to know timing. Huge run of buses.

It is Rs 54 by bus.
A lot has been written in Jammu Forum.

Please let us know if you have any specific query.

The Fare structure in Katara is Asymmetric.

Return from Katara to Jammu cost Rs.40/-

Similarly Auto from Katara bus stand to Banganga [1km] is Rs. 40/-
while return from Banganga to Katara bus stand all auto fellow were charging Rs.150/- from poor tired devotees.
[After some bargaining we settled on Rs.100/-]

From Jammu to Katra by Bus Rs 55
and jammu to srinagar Rs 300 per head

You are almost correct, it is actually 321/- by JKSRTC bus from TRC, but takes about 10 hrs.
