A rain-triggered landslide struck the Vaishno Devi track near Himkoti on 8 July 2026, forcing a temporary suspension of the battery car and helicopter services. The yatra remained unaffected as pilgrims continued through the old track.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration has issued a fresh advisory for the Amarnath Yatra 2026, asking unregistered pilgrims not to proceed towards the yatra route. Registered pilgrims cannot travel before their permit date, and a valid RFID card remains compulsory.
