The Amarnath Yatra 2026 will run for 57 days, starting July 3 and ending August 28, according to the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB). Lakhs of devotees are expected to trek through the Jammu and Kashmir Himalayas to reach the cave shrine, where an ice formation revered as Lord Shiva takes shape naturally at over 12,000 feet. Registration costs just Rs 150, but getting a slot involves paperwork most first-timers don't expect.
