Expect 652 km on the odometer and close to 10 h 50 min on the road. Leave early on Navratri, the New Year week and summer holidays: parking fills up fast and police divert traffic away from the temple lanes.

The temple has no station of its own. The nearest railhead is Katra (SVDK), 1.7 km from the temple, with shared jeeps, buses and taxis for the last leg. Check current trains from Delhi on IRCTC.
