Driving from Katra to Gorakhpur? It's roughly a 1332.8 km run, about 24 hours 14 minutes behind the wheel depending on stops and the time you leave. The route mostly follows NH44 (the Jammu-Srinagar highway), and fares with Sairgah start at ₹15,994 for a sedan — Innova and Tempo Traveller options are there if you're travelling with family or a larger group.
Katra to Gorakhpur by cab is a 1333 km stretch, 24 hours of driving on NH44 (the Jammu-Srinagar highway). The highway is busy with truck traffic, so our drivers plan meal halts at the cleaner dhabas. What you see at checkout is what you pay, no surge pricing even in peak season, and your advance sits in escrow until the driver picks you up. Sedan, SUV, or Tempo Traveller, all AC, depending on how many of you are travelling.
Car options for the Katra–Gorakhpur run
A sedan (Dzire, Amaze, Etios — comfortable for four adults) is the default choice and the cheapest, starting at ₹15,994. Step up to an SUV like an Innova or Ertiga if you've got six people or a lot of bags, or a Tempo Traveller (12–17 seats) for bigger groups and wedding or corporate travel. Every vehicle is AC, cleaned before the trip, and driven by a verified, GPS-tracked driver. We also pick up door-to-door from nearby places like Udhampur, Akhnur, Bhulwal if that's closer to you.
What the route is actually like
10 toll plazas (around Rs. 1130 total). All tolls and state taxes are included in your Sairgah upfront fare, so you pay nothing extra to the driver.
How the fare is built
The number you see when you book is the number you pay at the end. That covers fuel, toll tax, state entry tax, the driver's meals, GST and parking — built up from the 1332.8 km distance at the vehicle's per-km rate plus the driver's daily allowance. There's no "toll extra, sir" at the end of the trip. Short routes may carry a minimum-km floor.
Should you book one-way or round?
Two ways to book: a one-way drop, where you're not charged for the driver's return if they can pick up another fare back; or a round trip, where the driver waits and brings you home. One-way usually costs less if you're flying or training back. Round trip makes sense if you want the car with you at Gorakhpur for local sightseeing or a return within a couple of days.
Every driver on the Katra–Gorakhpur route knows the corridor — we don't send a city cabbie out on an unfamiliar highway for their first time. Free cancellation up to four hours before pickup, GPS tracking on every vehicle, and a real person on the phone if anything comes up. Book online or message us on WhatsApp for a custom quote.
