Amarnath Yatra & Mata Vaishno Devi Tour Package
Travel arrangements and planning support for the Amarnath Yatra and the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage in Katra — with the option to extend into a full Kashmir tour.
Amarnath Yatra
Planning Your Amarnath Yatra
The Amarnath Yatra is a Himalayan pilgrimage to the Amarnath cave shrine, conducted over a fixed period each year, typically between late June and August, with exact dates set annually by the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board. The yatra requires advance registration, a valid permit and a mandatory health certificate.
Given the altitude and physical demands of the route, preparation matters. We help travellers understand the registration and permit process, and coordinate travel arrangements around the yatra dates.
- Fixed annual yatra window (confirm current-year dates)
- Shrine Board registration, permit & health certificate required
- Base camp travel arrangements assisted
Mata Vaishno Devi
Planning Your Vaishno Devi Darshan
The Mata Vaishno Devi shrine is located near Katra and can be visited year-round, making it more flexible to plan than the Amarnath Yatra. Pilgrims typically base themselves in Katra for 2 to 3 days to complete the trek or pony/palki journey and darshan.
Katra also sits along the same highway route into Kashmir, which is why many travellers combine the two — see our dedicated Katra Kashmir tour guide for a full combined itinerary.
After The Pilgrimage
Extend Into A Kashmir Tour
Many pilgrims continue their trip into Kashmir after completing the yatra or darshan, rather than travelling separately at a later date.

Frequently Asked
Amarnath Yatra & Vaishno Devi: Common Questions
When does the Amarnath Yatra take place?
The Amarnath Yatra runs for a fixed period each year, generally over several weeks between late June and August, with exact dates announced annually by the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board. Travellers should confirm current-year dates before planning.
Do I need a permit for the Amarnath Yatra?
Yes, the Amarnath Yatra requires registration and a valid permit issued by the Shrine Board, along with a mandatory health certificate. We can guide you through what's needed as part of your yatra planning.
Can I visit Vaishno Devi and do the Amarnath Yatra in one trip?
Some pilgrims combine both, though they typically require separate planning around the Amarnath Yatra's fixed dates and permit process. We can help sequence a combined itinerary if your travel dates allow it.
Can I extend my trip into a Kashmir tour after the yatra?
Yes. Many pilgrims continue on to Srinagar, Gulmarg and Pahalgam after completing the Amarnath Yatra or Vaishno Devi darshan, and we can arrange this as a combined pilgrimage-and-leisure package.
What travel arrangements does SS Travels handle for the yatra?
We assist with transport to and from the base camps, accommodation along the route where applicable, and coordination with your onward Kashmir itinerary if you're extending the trip.
