To ease the expected rush during the Amarnath Yatra 2025, the Central Government has introduced a new helicopter service from Srinagar to Panchtarni, which is just 6 km from the cave. This development is a game-changer for those planning their amarnath helicopter booking 2025.

Standard Helicopter Options

Till now, helicopter travel was only possible via pahalgam to amarnath helicopter booking. From Panchtarni, pilgrims complete the final stretch by foot, mule, or palanquin. The new Srinagar–Panchtarni route will enhance helicopter booking amarnath options.

Cave-Foot Helicopter Landings Considered

The Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) has been asked to check if helicopters can land near the cave itself — a privilege currently reserved for VIPs. If approved, helicopter booking for amarnath yatra 2025 could become more direct and efficient.

Standard Yatra SOP

Only 15,000 registered pilgrims can proceed daily — 7,500 from each route — as per SOP. But this cap excludes those booking via amarnath helicopter booking.

Watch for Official Dates
