Amarnath Yatra 2027 Dates & Registration: Expected Schedule

Planning the holy Amarnath Yatra in 2027? The pilgrimage to the ice Shivling in the Himalayan cave of Kashmir runs for a fixed window each year, set by the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB). For 2027, the yatra is expected to begin in early July 2027 and conclude around Raksha Bandhan (Shravan Purnima), in mid-to-late August 2027. In 2026 the yatra ran from 3 July to 28 August. The exact 2027 dates are announced by the SASB a few months before, usually by March–April.

Note: These are expected 2027 dates based on recent years. The official schedule, registration window, fee and rules are declared by the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (jksasb.nic.in) closer to the season — this guide will be updated when the 2027 dates are announced.

When will Amarnath Yatra 2027 start?

The Amarnath Yatra 2027 is expected to begin in the first week of July 2027, aligned with the holy month of Shravan. It usually concludes on Shravan Purnima / Raksha Bandhan. For reference, the 2026 yatra ran 3 July to 28 August (57 days), and the first puja (Pratham Puja) was held on Jyeshta Purnima. The duration changes slightly each year depending on the Hindu calendar and security arrangements.

Amarnath Yatra 2027 registration

Registration is mandatory for every pilgrim and is expected to open around April 2027 (it opened on 15 April in 2026). The process:

• Online: advance registration on the official SASB portal (jksasb.nic.in) with Aadhaar-based biometric eKYC.
• Bank branches: designated branches of SBI, PNB, YES Bank, Axis Bank and others issue permits.
• Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC): a health certificate from an authorised doctor is required — the yatra is at high altitude (~3,888 m / 12,756 ft at the cave).
• A nominal registration fee (around ₹150 per pilgrim in 2026) and the standard age limits (typically 13–70 years) apply; confirm on the SASB site for 2027.

Amarnath Yatra routes

• Pahalgam route (~48 km, 3–5 days): the traditional, gradual path via Chandanwari, Sheshnag and Panchtarni — longer but scenic and easier on the body.
• Baltal route (~14 km, 1–2 days): the short, steep path for fit pilgrims who want to complete darshan quickly.
• Helicopter: services operate on both routes (to Panchtarni), cutting the trek dramatically — book early as slots fill fast.

Best time & tips for 2027

Early July and late August tend to be less crowded than the mid-season peak. Carry warm woollens, a raincoat, trekking shoes and your CHC + photo ID. Acclimatise, stay hydrated, and follow SASB and security advisories. Weather can change fast, so keep buffer days.
