Amarnath Yatra Registration: What You Need to Know

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.

FAQs: Amarnath Yatra Registration

When does Amarnath Yatra registration 2027 open?

Expected in April 2027, after the Shrine Board announces the yatra dates and the CHC format in March or April. We alert pilgrims on WhatsApp the day it opens.

Can I register online for the Amarnath Yatra?

Yes, on the Shrine Board portal with the CHC, a photo and an ID uploaded, and the fee paid online. Bank branch registration is the alternative.

Is registration needed for the helicopter?

Yes. The helicopter ticket is booked against the registration number for the same date and route.

What is the RFID card?

A card issued at Jammu or Srinagar against the registration slip, scanned at the base camp gates and the helipad; it tracks pilgrims on the route.

Where are Amarnath helicopter tickets sold?

Only through the Shrine Board's authorised online channel and the counters of the approved operators. Tickets are per pilgrim, for one date and one sector, against the yatra registration number. We book them for package pilgrims on the opening day.

What is the Amarnath helicopter fare?

About ₹2,800 one way from Baltal and ₹4,900 one way from Pahalgam to Panchtarni in recent seasons. The Shrine Board publishes the 2027 fare with the schedule.

Is helicopter service guaranteed?

No. It depends on Shrine Board and security approval each season and on weather every day. In some years no helicopter service was operated. Our packages keep a pony, palki or trek backup and refund the ticket if the sector does not fly.

How far is the cave from the Panchtarni helipad?

About 6 km, 2 to 3 hours on foot each way. Ponies and palkis are available at the helipad at rates fixed by the district administration.
