Amarnath Yatra 2010 – Srinagar – J & K

I am sure that, Amarnath cave needs no introduction. It is a very famous cave, located in Jammu and Kashmir, India. The altitude of the cave is 3,888 m. The cave is about 141 km from Shrinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir. The Amarnath temple can be reached through the Pahalgam town. As you all know that, lord Shiva is the main god of Amarnath cave. The best part is that, the Shivalinga will form naturally due to freezing of water drops.

The water drops fall down from the ceiling of the cave and it grows up vertically from the floor of the cave. This is how the Shivalinga in Amarnath cave will be formed. If you want to see this in your naked eyes, you need to take the Amarnath yatra. You can reach the Amarnath temple by two routes. One is through the old and traditional route called Pahalgam town and it will take 5 days to reach the Amarnath cave.

Second route is that, you can take trekking from Baltal and it will take 1 to two days to reach the cave. It is you that has to choose the route what you find reliable and soothing for you. It is needless to mention that, trekking would not be that simple. If you are physically fit and fine, you can do trekking. Otherwise, you should take the traditional route to reach the cave. May to September is the best time to visit the Amarnath temple. During this time, the temperature will be good.
