Spiritual Refreshing Retreat :

Nestled amidst pristine glory of Deva Mai Forest area, VANDURGA Villas & Suites offers unpolluted environment, glowing landscapes and enthralling spirituality. The serene atmosphere clubbed with customized hospitality and comfortable infrastructure makes life more refreshing while de-stressing on in house undulated PUTTING GREEN. The sanctity and serenity relates to our legend that says "Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Ji" Meditated for more than a Hundred years in this area before proceeding towards the Trikuta Mountains". A temple dedicated to her on a nearby hill and a mango tree believed to be planted by Mata Ji bear testimony to this legend.

Places to visit near Katra
Shiv Khori - This holy cave is nearly a kilometre long and houses a 4 ft high, naturally formed ‘Shivling’. It is considered second only to the shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi in religious importance. There are stalactites & stalagmites dripping milky limestone water from the ceiling. Situated at a distance of about 100 kms from Jammu and about 75 kms from Katra, Shiv Khori hosts a major fair on Shivratri day every year.
Aghar Jitto - Just 5 km away from Katra is Aghar Jitto, the Shrine of Baba Jitto, a devotee of Mata Vaishno Devi and a revolutionary who led a campaign against the feudal order. According to legends, a dip in the holy spring water, flowing in front of the shrine, does miracles to pre-natal women for safe delivery of children. A path from here leads to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi.
Dera Baba Banda - At about 30 kms from Katra lies this major Hindu-Sikh pilgrimage centre. Baba Banda Bairaagi was Guru Gobind Singh's favourite 'Saint-soldier', who had the gurudwara constructed on the banks of river Chenab, where he spent his last days.
Baba Dhansar - Located 10 kms from Katra (1 km on foot) is Baba Dhansar, a beautiful and cool picnic spot. Here, a huge spring gushes out of the mountainside in a thick grove of trees and forms a number of small waterfalls before flowing into the holy Banganga. Next to the spring in a small grove in the rock face is a naturally formed ‘Shivling’ on which droplets of water fall naturally all the year round. A major ‘mela’ (fair) is held here during Shivratri.
