The road trip from Delhi: a private cab from your door to Jammu, the NH 44 road to Srinagar, two nights at Pahalgam around the holy cave darshan, and the drive home. Seven days with hotels, meals and the same vehicle throughout from ₹31,900 per person. Flight and train plans from Delhi are linked below.
The Amarnath Yatra Package from Delhi is the by-road plan for families and groups who want one vehicle from Delhi NCR to the base camp and back. The cab covers Delhi to Jammu (about 590 km, 10 to 12 hours) with a night at Jammu, then the Banihal road to Srinagar and Pahalgam. Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Faridabad pick-ups are included.
The darshan is on day 4 from Pahalgam by helicopter or trek, with a second Pahalgam night as the weather buffer. The return has a Jammu night before the drive back to Delhi, which keeps every driving day under 12 hours. Vaishno Devi can be added at Katra on either side.
Pilgrims who prefer to fly take the Delhi flight package (5 days from ₹34,900) and those on a budget the train plan (7 days from ₹27,900); both are linked below with the helicopter-inclusive version.
The order of sightseeing can change with weather, convoy timings, Shrine Board instructions and darshan queues.
