Yes, a 17 seater tempo traveller works very well for a group of 15 for the Delhi to Katra journey. The drive is roughly 12 to 13 hours depending on traffic and you can plan an overnight departure from Delhi to reach Katra fresh in the morning. Which is actually the ideal way to do it.
Keep the vehicle at Katra since large vehicles are not allowed beyond that point. From Katra the trek to the shrine is about 14 km which most people do comfortably. Battery cars and pony options are available for those who need them.
Booking a return trip through the Bhairavnath temple route is recommended as it adds only 2 km and the blessings are considered complete only after that visit.
For a group pilgrimage, tempo traveller on rent in Delhi for Vaishno Devi is the most practical and economical choice compared to trains or multiple cabs.
