Yatra Permit:
The Yatra Permit would be different for each route and day of the week, India Today quoted Nitishwar Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board as saying. Only the pilgrims, possessing a valid yatra permit and the required Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC), will be allowed to cross the entry gates at Chandwari and Domel.
There is no requirement of advance registration for the pilgrims who are going to travel by helicopter as their tickets will serve this purpose. However, they have to show their CHC to get permission to travel by helicopter.
