7 Days Amarnath Vaishno Devi Yatra Package from Bangalore
Tour overview
This Amarnath Vaishno Devi yatra package joins the cave shrine of Lord Shiva in the Kashmir Himalaya with the hill shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi in seven days. It begins in Srinagar with a shikara ride on Dal Lake, then moves to Sonamarg, Zero Point and Zoji La before the night at Baltal, the base for Amarnath darshan.
On darshan day you either trek 14 km one way from Baltal or fly from Neelgrath to Panchtarni and cover the last 6 km by trek, pony or palki. After a day among Srinagar’s gardens and the Shankaracharya Temple, the group drives to Katra, and a hotel cab takes you to Banganga for the 13 km trek to Mata Vaishno Devi. The final morning ends at Jammu, from where you take your flight or train. You move in a 6 or 12 seater vehicle, and vegetarian South Indian style meals are cooked by our trained cooks, with langar food at Baltal and Panchtarni.
Medical certificates from Government doctors are required for Amarnath. Call or WhatsApp our Bengaluru team on +91 973 973 1964 to plan your yatra.
