Buddha Amarnath Temple - Sacred Shiva Shrine in Poonch

Best Time to Visit

• The best period to visit is from May to October when the weather is agreeable and the routes are easily accessible. The annual pilgrimage takes place during the Shravan month (typically July-August), which is the most spiritually charged time but also extremely crowded. For a more relaxed visit, consider September and October, when the monsoon has passed, the scenery is green, and the crowds have thinned. Winters (November to March) are very cold, and heavy snowfall can sometimes lead to road closures.
• Peak Crowd: July-August, during the annual Shravan month yatra.
• Moderate Crowd: May-June and September-October, during the main tourist and pilgrimage season.
• Low Crowd: November-April, due to cold weather and potential road closures.
