5 Days Amarnath Yatra Package from Bangalore
Tour overview
Our Amarnath yatra package from Bangalore is a focused five day trip for devotees who want darshan of the holy ice lingam at the Sri Amarnath Ji Shrine, with Srinagar on either side. You take a morning flight to Srinagar and, time permitting, enjoy a shikara ride on Dal Lake that afternoon. Day two takes you to Sonamarg, Zero Point and Zoji La before the night at Baltal, the base camp for the yatra.
Darshan day offers two ways up. Trekkers, and those on horse or doli, cover 14 km one way from Baltal and return there for the night. Helicopter passengers fly from Neelgrath helipad to Panchtarni, then go about 6 km by trek, doli or horse to the cave, returning to Sonamarg afterwards. One night in tents at Baltal or Panchtarni is compulsory and food there is served at the langars; on other days our trained cooks prepare vegetarian South Indian style meals. The last full day covers Srinagar’s Mughal gardens and the Shankaracharya Temple.
Medical certificates from Government doctors are required, so plan early. Call or WhatsApp our Bengaluru office on +91 973 973 1964 to book your seats.
