The Amarnath Yatra involves walking through tough mountain paths, so the Shrine Board has shared some simple dos and don’ts to keep pilgrims safe:
Dos:
Start preparing your body at least a month before the yatra.
Carry warm clothes, waterproof shoes, a raincoat, and a flashlight.
Always follow the instructions given by Yatra staff and security teams.
Don’ts:
Don’t carry plastic bags, as the area is environmentally sensitive.
Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol during the journey.
Do not travel during bad weather.
The Shrine Board also requests all pilgrims to keep the area clean and respect the sacred environment.
Helicopter services are available and can be booked online through official websites. Both travel routes are closely monitored and assisted by the Indian Army and disaster response teams for safety.
