SRINAGAR, 15 November 2026 — Soun Kashmir Tours and Travels has published planning notes for a three-day [Amarnath via Sonmarg](https://www.sounkashmir.com/packages/amarnath-via-sonmarg) itinerary, after stating that pilgrim helicopters did not operate for the Amarnath Yatra in 2025 or 2026. The listed route runs Srinagar–Sonmarg–Amarnath–Srinagar and is priced at ₹12,500 for two travellers, with sightseeing, hotel, meals and a cab on the package card. The figure is a starting price as of 25 October 2026.The company is asking pilgrims to begin with an approved date and route, then decide where the cab leaves them on the Sonmarg side, where they will sleep, and how the return to Srinagar is timed. An extra margin should be kept between the pilgrimage and any onward journey. As the [Amarnath helicopter booking status](https://www.sounkashmir.com/services/amarnath-helicopter-booking) page states, the 2026 flying restriction applied to both the Baltal and Pahalgam approaches. Pilgrims used the walking routes or arranged an available pony or palki under the rules for that season. For a future yatra, the season's rules should be confirmed before anyone makes travel plans around a flight. Soun Kashmir can quote road transfers, stays and meals around the permitted route and date. Its Vaishno Devi by Helicopter listing is a separate Katra journey and is not an Amarnath flight.
The two walking approaches differ in length and effort, as the [Amarnath destination guide](https://www.sounkashmir.com/destinations/amarnath) explains. The Baltal route is about 14 km from the access control at Domail. The Pahalgam approach is about 32 km from Chandanwari and continues through Sheshnag and Panjtarni. From Srinagar, the Baltal base is about 95 km by road and the Nunwan base near Pahalgam is about 90 km. Baltal is shorter but steeper. Travellers should use the location named in their permit.
Registration remains a separate official process. In 2026, a medical fitness form issued by an authorised clinician on or after 8 April was required, and registration opened on 15 April. Pilgrims are advised to keep identification, permit and health paperwork together and to check whether an RFID card must be collected before the gate. A longer seven-day [Amarnath Kashmir Trip](https://www.sounkashmir.com/packages/amarnath-kashmir-trip), listed at ₹21,500 for six travellers, adds Gulmarg and Pahalgam after the pilgrimage.
