Six days from Ahmedabad with the return flights to Srinagar in the price: a Srinagar day for the RFID card and Dal Lake, two nights at Pahalgam around the holy cave darshan by helicopter or trek, and a rest night before the journey home. From ₹38,900 per person.
The Amarnath Yatra Tour Package from Ahmedabad is our standard six-day Pahalgam plan with the travel from Ahmedabad arranged: direct flights from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) to Srinagar, ticketed in your name at booking. Pilgrims who prefer the train get the same land plan with the 3AC fare instead; see the by train page for Ahmedabad.
The darshan is on day 4 from Pahalgam, by the 20-minute helicopter to Panchtarni or the traditional trek through Sheshnag, with a second Pahalgam night as a weather buffer. Three Srinagar nights cover the RFID card collection, Dal Lake, the Mughal gardens and a rest day before you fly home.
Registration and the Compulsory Health Certificate are done in Gujarat before you travel; we send the checklist and the authorised hospital list for Gujarat, and the coordinator collects the RFID card with you at Srinagar.
The order of sightseeing can change with weather, convoy timings, Shrine Board instructions and darshan queues.

Online on the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board portal, or at the designated branches of Punjab National Bank, SBI, J&K Bank and YES Bank in Gujarat. You need a photo, an ID and the Compulsory Health Certificate from an authorised doctor in Gujarat; we send the checklist and the current branch list.
6 Days / 5 Nights: 3 nights Srinagar, 2 nights Pahalgam, with the holy cave darshan on day 4.
From ₹38,900 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 ₹42,900 and premium from ₹48,900. 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 Pahalgam to Panchtarni sector for your registered date and add it at cost, about ₹9,800 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.
