Manokamna Bhawan is a place to stay in the Main Bhawan Complex of Vaishno Devi, near the Shrine Cave, in the Trikuta Hills of Reasi District, Jammu & Kashmir. Pilgrims search for it as “Manokamna Bhawan Katra”, “Katra Manokamna Bhawan” or “Manokamna Bhawan in Katra”, because Katra is the base town where every yatra begins. This guide explains what the property is, where it sits and what each room costs.
Is Manokamna Bhawan in Katra town?
Not exactly, and it helps to know before you plan your day. Katra is where you register and start the climb. Manokamna Bhawan is at the Bhawan itself, the shrine complex at the top of the trek, roughly 12–13 km on foot from Banganga. That is the whole point of staying here: after the climb you are about 200–720 m from the Shrine Cave, not another long walk away from it.

A note on names
You may see the name written as Manokamna, Manokamana or Mano Kamna Bhawan, and some pilgrims search for it as Manokamna guest house Katra. They all point to the same address at the Bhawan complex. If you are ever unsure, ask for “Manokamna Bhawan, downstairs from Bhojanalaya”.
