Amarnath Yatra Packages
Visit the holy Amarnath cave in the Kashmir Himalayas with hotels at Srinagar and Pahalgam, meals, transfers and help with registration, permits and the helicopter option.
Amarnath Yatra Packages Overview
The Amarnath Yatra takes pilgrims to a holy cave in the Kashmir Himalayas where a natural ice lingam forms. The yatra runs for a limited period each year, usually around July and August, and the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board announces the dates, rules and registration process.
The cave is reached by the traditional Pahalgam route, which is longer and more scenic, or the shorter Baltal route near Sonamarg. Helicopter services fly pilgrims to Panjtarni, which cuts the walk to a much shorter distance. Our plan keeps Srinagar and Pahalgam as comfortable bases and adds time to rest and acclimatise.
Registration, a medical certificate and the yatra permit are mandatory, and age and health rules are set by the Shrine Board each year. The altitude is demanding, so a medical check before you book is strongly advised.

- Get the medical certificate. A certificate from an authorised doctor is required. Check the current Shrine Board rules for age and health limits.
- Acclimatise. The cave is at about 3,880 m. Rest a day at Pahalgam or Srinagar before the trek and drink plenty of water.
- Pack for cold and rain. Weather can change quickly. Carry thermals, a raincoat, trekking shoes, a woollen cap and gloves.
- Go light. Carry a small bag, any regular medicines, dry fruits and a water bottle.
- Follow security rules. Keep your ID and permit with you, expect checks along the route and follow instructions from the security forces.
- Keep a buffer. The yatra can be suspended for rain or security reasons. Avoid tight flight bookings after the yatra.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions, temple timings or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather, road closures or flight cancellations is payable by the guest.
