The eagerly awaited Amarnath Yatra 2026 dates have been officially announced by the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board. The sacred pilgrimage is set to begin on June 29, 2026, and conclude on August 28, 2026, making it a 60-day yatra this year. Due to continuous snowfall and subsequent challenges in clearing the route, the start date has been delayed by approximately one week.

What Next After Amarnath Yatra 2026 Dates Announcement?

Now that the Amarnath Yatra 2026 dates have been announced, pilgrims must plan carefully to ensure a smooth pilgrimage. Here is a detailed, step-by-step process for your convenience:

Step 1: Obtain Your Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC)

The first crucial step for all pilgrims is obtaining a Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC). This certificate, also known as the Medical Certificate, must be issued by authorized medical professionals from government hospitals. The medical certificate ensures you are physically fit for the demanding conditions of the Amarnath Yatra.

While you can download the medical form and the approved doctors’ list for informational purposes from our website, the official Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (श्री अमरनाथ श्राइन बोर्ड) has not yet released the updated 2026 medical forms and doctors’ lists. Therefore, we recommend waiting until the official announcement on jksasb.nic.in.
