Srinagar 2 N, Sonmarg 1 N.
4 Days / 3 Nights – FIT Tour
Arrive in Srinagar (airport/rail/bus/residence pick-up) and transfer to your hotel. This first day is intentionally easy: rest, hydrate, and acclimatize to the valley’s crisp air. If you feel up to it, take a gentle walk along the Jhelum or browse a nearby market for essentials—rain poncho, cap, energy bars—for tomorrow’s yatra. Use the evening to attend a short trip briefing covering helicopter timing, reporting points, and clothing for high-altitude conditions. Dinner and a relaxed overnight at your Srinagar hotel.
Start by 5:00 AM with packed breakfast. Drive Srinagar → Baltal via Sonmarg (94 km / ~3 hrs) to report at the helipad. Board your pre-booked helicopter to Panchtarni (≈10–12 mins). From here, proceed 6 km to the Amarnath Cave by trek/pony/palki (2–3 hrs one way, weather/fitness dependent). Offer prayers to the sacred ice Shiva Lingam, absorb the stillness, and retrace to Panchtarni for your return flight to Baltal. Drive to Sonmarg by early evening, dine, reflect, and rest amid alpine quiet. Overnight in Sonmarg.
After breakfast, drive Sonmarg → Srinagar (reach late morning). Explore the famed Mughal Gardens: Nishat Bagh (Garden of Joy) and Shalimar Bagh (Abode of Love), followed by Chashme Shahi (Royal Spring). Optionally continue to Pari Mahal for sweeping lake views. By 4:30 PM, enjoy a serene Shikara ride on Dal Lake near Boulevard Road, watching mountains glow at sunset. Choose your preferred stay—hotel or traditional houseboat—for dinner and a restful overnight in Srinagar.
Post breakfast, visit hilltop Shankaracharya Temple for a bird’s-eye view of Srinagar and Dal. The remainder is free for last-minute shopping at Lal Chowk or Polo View (pashmina, papier-mâché, dry fruits). Transfer to the airport/rail/bus as per schedule, carrying the calm of the Himalayas and the blessing of Amarnath in your heart.
Amarnath Yatra operates seasonally (typically June–August) subject to weather and Shrine Board notifications. Srinagar sightseeing is pleasant Apr–Oct; winters (Nov–Feb) are cold with occasional snow.
Yatra registration (RFID/permit as applicable) and compulsory health certificate are required; carry original photo ID and multiple photocopies. Keep printed helicopter e-tickets and report well before slot time.
Layer up: thermal base, fleece/sweater, windproof jacket; warm cap, gloves, woollen socks. Good trek shoes, rain poncho, sunglasses, SPF, lip balm, and a small daypack. Keep ORS, personal meds, and light high-energy snacks.
Stay hydrated, walk at a steady pace, and avoid heavy meals before the ascent. Weather shifts quickly—follow crew/authorities’ instructions. Helicopter ops are weather-dependent; keep patience and buffer time.

A compact, comfort-first itinerary that pairs a swift, well-orchestrated Amarnath darshan with Srinagar’s timeless beauty. Ideal for pilgrims and families seeking spiritual fulfilment without sacrificing rest and gentle sightseeing.
You’ll need Yatra registration/RFID (as applicable), a Compulsory Health Certificate from an approved doctor, and a valid photo ID. Carry printed helicopter tickets, 3–4 ID copies, and recent passport photos. Keep personal medicines, basic first aid, and an oximeter if you have altitude-sensitivity.
The trail is about 6 km each way at high altitude with uneven sections. Average-fit pilgrims take 2–3 hours one way. You can trek, or hire a pony/palki on direct payment. Walking poles, layered clothing, and steady hydration help greatly.
Operations are strictly weather-dependent. You may be reslotted or held until conditions improve. Keep a buffer day, stay near your phone for updates, and follow ground staff instructions. We assist with revised transfers and hotel coordination where possible.
Yes, with sensible pacing. Choose early heli slots, palki/pony for the 6 km sector, and keep warm layers, caps, gloves, and snacks handy. Consult a physician for seniors or those with heart/respiratory issues and carry the Compulsory Health Certificate.
