AMARNATH

The Temple of AMARNATH is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is one of the 18 Mahashakti Pegasus. Believers can visit this temple and get a glimpse of the lingam of Lord Shiva. Lingams are formed by freezing water droplets and depositing them vertically. According to belief, AMARNATH Cave is the place where Lord Shiva wanted to talk to the goddess Parvati Amarkata and keep it a secret. So he left all his companions behind. His riding friend, Nandy the Bull, had a moon on the head of Chandanwari, a snake on his neck at Lake Sheshnag, and the five basic livelihoods he wore in Punchtarini. Sir Ganesha himself, his son, was also at the top. Of mahogany. Located in the Rider Valley, the cave is surrounded by glaciers and snow-capped mountains and is covered with snow most of the year, except for the short summer months when it is open to pilgrims. This is the priority route, close to 47km from the main site of Amana's Cave. The first stage of the Yatra begins at Chandanwari, 9,500 feet, 16 km from Pahalgam Base Camp. Next is the Pissu Peak, 3 km away at 11,000 feet, followed by Shesnag, 9 km from the 11,730 ft Pissu Peak, followed by 12,000 feet Panjtarni, 12 km away. Pilgrims who cannot walk that far can choose a helicopter service that is readily available. Trekking usually takes 3-5 days one way.
