Where is the authentic shop in katra to purchase dry fruits?

Hello everyone,

I will be visiting Katra with my parents from 15th to 19th May.

We are planning to go for Vaishno Devi darshan on 16th May. This is our first trip, and I am hoping the darshan can be completed within a day.

I haven’t planned anything yet for 17th to 19th May. Is it possible to visit Srinagar for one day and return the next day, or would it be better to plan sightseeing around Jammu instead?

We have also not booked any hotel in Katra yet. Could you please suggest some budget-friendly stays suitable for a family of four?

Any suggestions or advice would be really helpful. Thank you!
