SRINAGAR, AUGUST 8: The 57-day long Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra commenced on 3rd July this year and will culminate with the event of Chadi Mubarak on 28th August 2026.
The Yatra commenced simultaneously from both the routes – the Chandanwari track in Anantnag district and Baltal in Ganderbal district.
“More than 4.8 lakh pilgrims have performed darshan at the Holy Shrine so far. However, due to the recent rains, a necessity for the repair & maintenance of the Yatra tracks at vulnerable stretches has been felt, which is being undertaken by Border Roads Organization (BRO).
In addition, adverse weather conditions have been predicted by IMD over next few days. Hence, the Yatra shall remain suspended from both routes with effect from 9th August, 2026.
Chadi Mubarak shall proceed via traditional Pahalgam route and shall mark the culmination of Yatra 2026 on 28th August”, the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Anshul Garg said.
He appealed to all the pilgrims to adhere to the advisories issued by the competent authority from time to time in the interest of their safety and the smooth conduct of the Yatra.
