The best time to visit Amarnath from Chandigarh is during the official Amarnath Yatra season, which typically runs from late June to mid-August every year. This period coincides with the Shravan month in the Hindu calendar and marks the time when the Amarnath Cave is accessible to pilgrims.  

Weather Conditions During Amarnath Yatra 

• June to Mid-August: The weather in the region is relatively stable with clear skies, making it the safest time to undertake the Amarnath Yatra by road from Chandigarh. 

• Daytime temperatures can vary between 5°C and 20°C, and nighttime temperatures may drop to 0°C or lower, especially near Baltal or Pahalgam. 

• Monsoon Alert: Bring rain gear and warm clothes to stay comfortable and protected from the light rains. 

 Ideal Month to Travel 

• July is considered the most favorable month to visit the Amarnath shrine. The Shivling inside the cave is fully formed, and weather conditions are more predictable. 

• If you prefer fewer crowds, consider traveling in late June or early August, though weather fluctuations may occur. 

 Spiritual Importance of Yatra Timing 

The Yatra is planned to coincide with the Hindu festival of Shravan Purnima (Raksha Bandhan), when Lord Shiva is believed to appear in the form of a natural ice lingam inside the sacred cave.
