By road

Expect 2,053 km on the odometer and close to 32 h 5 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.

By train

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 Kolkata on IRCTC.

By air

The nearest airport is Jammu Airport, 48.8 km from the temple. From Kolkata it is usually quicker to fly there and continue by taxi or bus than to drive the whole way.
