Who can join?
In 2026, pilgrims aged 13 to 70 were allowed, so very young children cannot join the yatra itself. Younger family members can stay with a trusted adult at the hotel while others complete the darshan. Check the 2027 rules.
What families usually choose
Most families pick a helicopter package so that the darshan fits into a day. Combine it with Kashmir family packages for Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Srinagar.
Tips
- Book rooms that sleep the whole family together.
- Pack for cold weather even in summer.
- Keep snacks and water for the walk.
