If the latest official travel advisory says the Amarnath Yatra is temporarily suspended, it is best to postpone your journey until authorities announce that the route is open again. The suspension is usually ordered because of heavy rainfall, landslides, or unsafe trekking conditions, and it is meant to protect pilgrims.
Before leaving Delhi, always check the latest updates from the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board and local administration. Starting your trip without confirming the route status may lead to long waiting times, road closures, or changes to your travel plans.
If you are traveling with family or a large group, choosing a Tempo Traveller on Rent in Delhi can make rescheduling much easier. A private vehicle offers flexible departure timings, comfortable seating, enough luggage space, and the convenience of traveling together instead of coordinating multiple taxis.
If your journey has been delayed, don't panic. Wait for the official reopening announcement, review your hotel and transport bookings, and plan your departure accordingly. Safety should always come first during the Amarnath Yatra.
For comfortable and reliable group travel, Delhi Tempo Travels provides well-maintained Tempo Travellers with experienced outstation drivers for Delhi to Jammu and other pilgrimage routes.

No, and anyone planning Delhi to Amarnath by road must know this before Day 2 of their journey.
The Banihal Tunnel itself rarely fails. The real danger is the Ramban–Banihal corridor surrounding it — the most landslide-prone stretch of the entire 270-km Jammu–Srinagar highway. Heavy monsoon rains (July–August) regularly trigger rockfalls and flash floods on this section, causing multi-day closures. As recently as April 2026, both tunnel tubes were blocked for three consecutive days, leaving hundreds of vehicles stranded.
Permanent bypass tunnels and viaducts under construction won't be ready before 2027.
What to do: Check J&K Traffic Police updates the night before. Build a buffer day at Jammu. Never attempt this stretch after dark.
Travelling Delhi to Amarnath by road in a dedicated Tempo Traveller with an experienced convoy-route driver gives your group the flexibility to wait, reroute, and arrive safely.
