How long does it take to reach the Baltal base camp from Srinagar?
The 95 km drive from Srinagar to Baltal (Sonamarg) typically takes 3 to 4 hours. However, during the Yatra, travel times may increase due to security convoys and high traffic at the Manigam bypass. It is best to start your journey before 8:00 AM.
Do I need a special permit for my taxi to enter the Yatra zone?
Your taxi driver must have a valid commercial permit and a Police Verification to operate in the high-security Yatra zones. Ensure your service provider uses “Yatra-registered” vehicles that are allowed past the checkpoints at Manigam (Baltal route) or Mir Bazaar (Pahalgam route).
Is an RFID card mandatory for taxi passengers?
Yes. Every pilgrim must carry a mandatory RFID card issued by the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB). Taxis will not be allowed to pass the primary security gates at Domail (Baltal) or Chandanwari (Pahalgam) if passengers do not have their RFID cards and Yatra permits ready for scanning.
