Registration opens on April 15, and pilgrims are encouraged to register early due to a daily quota. To register, individuals can use the official website or the Shri Amarnathji Yatra mobile app, requiring a valid mobile number, email ID, and a scanned Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) issued after April 8, 2026. The registration fee is ₹150. Additionally, an RFID card is mandatory for entry at key points like Domel and Chandanwari. The eligibility criteria state that participants must be between 13 and 70 years old, and pregnant women beyond six weeks are prohibited from participating. Pilgrims can choose between two routes: the traditional Pahalgam Route, approximately 46 km long, and the shorter Baltal Route, about 14 km long. Both routes offer helicopter services up to Panchtarni. Proper physical preparation is essential due to challenging terrain and unpredictable weather conditions.
