What is on Amarnath Yatra route
- For the safety of the devotees on the journey, 581 different security companies have been provided with a tight arrangement. In this, security forces personnel including CRPF, BSF, SSB, IBTP and CISF have been deployed.
- Medical camps have been set up every two kilometers on the route from Baltal to the cave. Warehouses have also been operational in many places in the middle. This year, four stands have been built on the road leading to the cave, while the paths of pilgrims going on foot, horse and palanquin have also been made separately.
- One jawan is deployed every 50 meters to protect the devotees. Pilgrim Prasad Thakur, who came from Mumbai, said that those who did not have no registration have also been registered very quickly. Today 70 to 80 thousand pilgrims must have seen. There is a good arrangement for food in Bhandare. All the arrangements from toilets to stay are good.
Pahalgam route better for natural beauty Baltal route is better if you are coming only as a religious journey. If you want to live the natural beauty of Kashmir closely, then Pahalgam route is better. However, its condition is contrary to the Baltal route.
Travel from cave to Chandanbadi is fatigue, dust. The path is stoned and is very narrow at some places. Railings are missing in many places on 48 km long shabby route and there are different routes for horses.
The Bhaskar team traveled on the second day from Pahalgam route. As soon as you grow on this route from the cave, you will meet with the young dog squad. Ahead of Panchatarni will be seen sitting in Bugyalas (green meadow on the mountains).
This view was also seen at Ganesh top, flea top 14,800 feet above. Last time there was not so much security.
How to reach: Two routes for travel
1. Pahalgam Route: It takes 3 days to reach the cave with this route, but this path is easy. There is no standing climb in the journey. The first stop from Pahalgam is Chandanwadi. It is 16 km from the base camp. Climbing starts from here.
The journey reaches the flea top after three km climb. Walking from here, the journey reaches Sheshnag by evening. This journey is about 9 km. The next day, passengers from Sheshnag go to Pancharani. It is about 14 km from Sheshnag. The cave from Panchatarni remains just 6 km.
2. Baltal Route: If the time is short, then Baba can go through the Baltal route for Amarnath Darshan. It has to climb only 14 km, but there is a very steep climb, so the elderly have problems on this path. There are narrow paths and dangerous turns on this route.
What should be kept in mind during the journey… During the journey, keep medical certificate, 4 passport size photos, Aadhaar card, RFID card, travel application form with you. Practice 4 to 5 km of walking every day in terms of physical fitness. Do pranayama and exercise like breath yoga. Keep woolen clothes, raincoats, tracking sticks, water bottles and bags of essential medicines with you in the journey.
