Yatra by Road

The cave temple of Amarnath finds its place in the South Kashmir Himalayas at an altitude of 3,888 m (12,756 ft). Which is why it is not well connected by road. To reach the temple, one can choose to travel to Jammu and travel via road to Srinagar. From there one has to reach Pahalgam or Baltal. From both the places, one has to trek to reach the temple of Baba Amarnath.

Yatra by Helicopter

Travelers can opt Amar nath helicopter package booking from Pahalgam and Neelgrath (near Baltal Camps). Rides from both the routes take 10 minutes to reach Panjtarni helipad. From there, you can choose to cover the rest 6 km on foot, pithoo or pony.

The banks and branches are given the responsibility to issue the Yatra Permit of Amarnath Ji after verifying all the information provided on the application form.

• The registration process begins usually a month prior to the yatra. For the year 2024, the registration process will take place from 1st March in 400 branches of the Jammu Kashmir Banks, YES Bank, and Punjab National Bank.
• One thing to keep in mind is that the registration and the permits are allotted on first come first serve basis. And hence pilgrims should register beforehand.
• Even though the sole responsibility of allocating permits is on the bank and branches. However, there is a definite number of permits to issue for each day and each route. They also have to make sure that only the valid no. of permits are allotted.
• One Yatra Permit (YP) gives access to only one devotee to visit the temple.
• Yatris below the 13 years and above 75 years are not allowed to visit the Amar nath Yatra due to health concerns. Along with that, women with a pregnancy of 6 weeks or more cannot undertake the pilgrimage.
• It is solely on the registering officer at the bank to register and issue the permit even after the working hours (3:00 PM to 6:00 PM)
• It is mandatory for each applicant to submit the application form and health certificate to receive the permit.
• All the documents should be prepared well before applying for the permit.

Ans: Pilgrims can also choose to register on spot for the Amarnath yatra. However, this depends on the number of permits issued for the day, as only 15000 pilgrims from both Pahalgam and Baltal can go for the pilgrimage. If the number of registration falls short someday, then the applicants can do on-spot registration.

Last year, on spot registration facilities, were offered at Vaishnavi Dham, Saraswati Dham, Jammu Haat, and Geeta Bhawan.

Ans: If you are thinking about how to reach Amarnath, here is what you need to know:

From Baltal

Travelers are often seen picking the route from Baltal to reach Amarnath Yatra as it is comparatively short. Stretching over 14 km, the route begins from Baltal crossing Domial, Barari, and Sangam. The route from Baltal is preferred by those who can traverse steep and tough climb. Elderly and sick people should avoid using this route to Amarnath.

Baltal to Amarnath Route: Baltal - Domail - Barari Marg - Sangam - Holy Cave of Amarnath

From Pahalgam

This is one of the most preferred routes to reach Amarnath. Even though the length of this route is from 36 to 48 km, it is easier than covering the steep ascent of the Baltal route. Moreover, most of the travelers are seen choosing this route as they take it as a challenge of their devotion to the Lord.

Pahalgam to Amarnath Route: Pahalgam - Chandanwari - Pissu Top - Sheshang - Panchtarni - Holy Cave of Amarnath
