Amarnath Yatra - Do's and Don'ts
Don’ts for the Yatris :
1. For women Yatris: They
must not wear sarees during the Yatra. Salwar kameez, pant-shirt or a track
suit is advisable.
2. Women who are more than 6 week pregnant
shall not be allowed to undertake the pilgrimage.
3. Children below 13 years in age and elderly
persons above the age of 75 years shall not be permitted to undertake the
pilgrimage.
4. Don’t stop at places which are marked by
warning notices. Walk only on the tracks.
5. Don’t walk barefoot or
be without woolen clothing at any time as the temperature in the Yatra area
remains low and changes abruptly.

because there are steep rises and falls on the route to the Holy Cave. Only
wear trekking shoes with laces.
7. Don’t attempt any short
cuts on the route as doing so is dangerous.

on an empty stomach. If you do so, you may attract a serious medical problem.
9. Don’t do anything during
the entire Yatra which could cause pollution or disturb the environment of the
area.
10. Do not bring with you
any polythene material as its use is banned in J&K and is punishable under
law.
11. Avoid throwing coins, currency notes,
decorative chunnis, brass lotas or any other material towards the Shivlingam
while having Darshans at the Holy Cave.
12. Do not stay at Holy Cave overnight in view
of high altitude and harsh and unpredictable weather conditions.
13. Do not leave Panjtarni
Camp towards Holy Cave after 3.00 PM as no darshan is allowed at Holy Cave
after 6.00 PM.
