Where to Register ?
For carrying out the Registration Process, the Board dad approved the designated branches of Jammu and Kashmir Bank, Yes Bank, District Co-operative banks and 100 post Offices.Earlier the Registration Process for yatra is handled by banks only, but this time the services of post offices are also taken for the Registration process.
Official Sources told that post offices have been included only to provide facilitation to yatris at the places where there is non-availability of Designated bank branches.This is a welcome step by Shrine Board as it will definitely help those yatris who will have to travel distance of 100's of Kms for carrying out the registration process.
Earlier the Shrine Board had announced the Dates for Amarnath Yatra 2012. If you would like to perform Amarnath Yatra in 2012 and are unaware about the registration process, then you must go through our previous post on Amarnath Yatra 2012 Registration.

- Amarnath Yatra via Pahalgam Route
- Amarnath Yatra via Baltal Route
Amarnath Yatra via Pahalgam Route
This route is longest and also traditional route for performing amarnath Yatra.The distance between Pahalgam and Holy cave is approximately 40-42 Kms (One Side).Here are few points that yatris must undergo who wish to perform yatra via pahalgam route.
Pahalgam -Chandanwari - Pissu Top - Sheshnag - Panchtarni - Holy Cave
The starting point of Amarnath Ji Yatra via this route is Pahalgam.Pahalgam is located at a distance of 43 Kms from the holy cave.
After starting the yatra from Pahalgam the next point is Chandanwari.Chandanwari is located at a distance of 16 kms from Pahalgam.The distance is covered by Local Transport on this route.

The Amarnath Ji Yatra via Baltal route is the shortest and preferred choice of most pilgrims as it is possible to complete the yatra from this route in only one day.The distance between the Baltal and the holy cave is only 14 Kms.So the devotees can perform the darshan same day and return to base camp the same day.But Baltal route is also narrow and difficult to traverse as compared to Pahalgam route
The starting point of yatra via this roue is Baltal which is located as a distance of 14 kms from the holy cave.The next point is Domail which is 2 kms from the baltal.After that yatris can proceed towards Barari which is again at a distance of 6 kms from Domail
