Following thorough security review, the Jammu and Kashmir administration has issued the dos and don’ts for the pilgrims for the Amarnath Yatra which is all set to begin on June 30, 2022.
Here are the dos for the Amarnath Yatris:
- The yatris have been asked to carry sufficient woolen clothing as the temperatures may sometimes fall below 5 degrees Celsius.
- Must carry umbrella, wind cheater, raincoat, and water proof shoes as the weather can be unpredictable.
- Keep clothes and edibles in a suitable water proof bag to avoid getting belongings wet.
- Carry identity card/ driver’s license and yatra permit.
Here are the don’ts for Amarnath Yatris:
- Don’t stop at places which are marked by warning notices.
- Don’t use slippers because there are steep rises and falls on the route to the Holy cave. Only wear trekking shoes with laces.
- Don’t attempt any short cuts on the route as doing so would be dangerous.
- Do not do anything during your entire forward/return journey which could cause pollution or disturb the environment of the Yatra area.
- Use of plastics is strictly banned in the Union Territory and is punishable under law.
