Amarnath Weather Guide
Summer (March to June): Summer is considered the ideal time to visit Amarnath due to its pleasant weather—neither too hot nor too cold. During this season, the snow covering the cave begins to melt, revealing the sacred Shivalingam. The formation of the lingam starts during June and continues into August, marking the commencement of the Amarnath Yatra.
Monsoon (July to September): The Amarnath Yatra is held during the monsoon months, from July to September, aligning with the auspicious Hindu month of Shravana, dedicated to Lord Shiva. While the pilgrimage is spiritually significant, the region often experiences sudden and severe blizzards during the monsoon, making it essential for visitors to take necessary precautions for safety.
Winter (October to February): Winters in Amarnath are extremely harsh due to the high altitude. Temperatures plummet well below freezing, and the area is blanketed in heavy snowfall. The cave remains inaccessible, as it is covered with snow, and trekking becomes highly dangerous. It is strongly advised to avoid visiting Amarnath during these months.
Best Time to Visit Amarnath
