Irctc is maintaining good lodging and boarding with middle-class rates and provides free travel from katra station to banganga check post.
rates are around 1300 for room and around 400 for ac dormitory ...it is better to stay at this facility than to take hotels as the facility is clean ..the only downside is that the fooding is not good and expensive ..
what are check in timings of this guest house, can it be booked online?
