Amarnath Yatra Helicopter Package
4 Days / 3 Nights
Srinagar → Baltal → Panchtarni by helicopter → Holy Cave → Srinagar
Step-by-step registration for the 2027 yatra: the Compulsory Health Certificate, online and bank registration, documents, the fee, the RFID card and the dates, with the helicopter booked for the same date.

Registration for the Shri Amarnathji Yatra is compulsory for every pilgrim and is done for one date and one route, Baltal or Pahalgam. It opens on a date announced by the Shrine Board, usually in April, online on the Board portal and at designated branches of Punjab National Bank, State Bank of India, J&K Bank and YES Bank across India.
Before registering, each pilgrim needs a Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) in the Board's format from a doctor or institution on the authorised list for their state, issued after the date the Board announces. Registration also needs a passport photo, a photo ID and a small fee; the registration slip then allows the helicopter ticket to be booked for the same date and the RFID card to be collected at Jammu or Srinagar.
The age limit is 13 to 70 years and women more than six weeks pregnant are not permitted. We send the CHC format and the authorised list for your state, check the form before you submit, and match the hotel and helicopter dates to your slip.
