One price with the flights: return airfare to Srinagar from your city, hotels at Srinagar and Sonamarg, the Baltal darshan by helicopter or on foot, transfers and registration help. From ₹34,900 per person from Delhi; pick your city below for the exact plan.
The Amarnath Yatra Package by Flight is our flight-inclusive plan from 50 Indian cities. Srinagar has direct flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Jammu and a few more cities in the yatra season; from everywhere else the connection is at Delhi, and we book both legs on one ticket with a safe connection.
The land plan is the same from every city: a Srinagar day for the RFID card and Dal Lake, a night at Sonamarg, the Baltal darshan by helicopter or trek, and a final Srinagar night. Only the airfare changes, so the city table below shows the starting price for each departure.
Fares rise in the yatra weeks and on weekends. We confirm the flight component at booking and issue the tickets the same day.
The order of sightseeing can change with weather, convoy timings, Shrine Board instructions and darshan queues.

Flights run in clear weather between early morning and mid afternoon; grounded sorties are refunded by the operator.

Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Jammu and, in season, Pune, Kolkata, Lucknow, Jaipur and Amritsar. From other cities the connection is at Delhi, usually with a wait of 1 to 3 hours.
5 Days / 4 Nights: 3 nights Srinagar, 1 night Sonamarg, with the holy cave darshan on day 3.
From ₹34,900 per person on twin sharing for the standard category with 3-star hotels, breakfast and dinner, a private vehicle and registration help. Deluxe is from ₹38,900 and premium from ₹46,900. Helicopter tickets, pony and palki are extra at the published rates.
No, because the Shrine Board fixes the helicopter fare every season and sells tickets only through its authorised channel. We book the Baltal to Panchtarni sector for your registered date and add it at cost, about ₹5,600 round trip in recent seasons.
The Shrine Board announces the dates in spring. The yatra usually opens in late June or early July and closes on Raksha Bandhan in August. We take bookings with a refundable deposit until the dates are published.
We guide you through the online registration, the Compulsory Health Certificate from an authorised doctor and the RFID card collection, and we match hotel and helicopter dates to the registration slot. The Shrine Board fee itself is paid by the pilgrim.
Pilgrims aged 13 to 70 with a valid CHC. Women more than six weeks pregnant are not permitted. The cave is at about 3,888 m, so anyone with heart, lung or blood pressure problems should take medical advice before booking.
Bad weather or a security pause can hold the yatra for a day or more. The package carries a pony, palki or trek backup and flexible hotel nights. Helicopter tickets for sectors that do not fly are refunded by the operator. Extra hotel nights beyond the plan are charged at the contracted rate.
