Amarnath Yatra
The sacred cave shrine — done safely.
Amarnath — the sacred Shiva cave at 3,888 metres in South Kashmir — opens for pilgrimage during the brief July-August window every year. The yatra culminates in darshan of the naturally-formed ice lingam inside the cave.
Our 7-day package handles every administrative layer: shrine board registration, mandatory health certificate, pony bookings, accommodation across Srinagar/Pahalgam/yatra camps, and an experienced yatra leader on the trek. We default to the traditional Pahalgam route (5 days on-foot) but can switch to Baltal (1-2 day fast route, helicopter option) for time-pressed yatris.
Group of 6+ for the listed price. We typically run weekly group departures during the yatra season — message us on WhatsApp for live dates.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which route do you recommend — Pahalgam or Baltal?
Pahalgam is the traditional 5-day yatra route (longer, more scenic). Baltal is a 1-2 day fast route via helicopter or trek. We default to Pahalgam for the full pilgrimage experience, but happy to switch to Baltal for time-pressed yatris.
How safe is the yatra?
Security is heavy throughout. We work closely with shrine board protocols, registered guides, and only operate during officially sanctioned dates. Travel insurance is recommended.
