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 to keep in mind …
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.
Amarnath cave is at an altitude of 3,888 meters Amarnath Shivling is a wonderful natural snow structure, called Himani Shivling. The Amarnath cave is located at an altitude of about 3,888 meters above sea level. This cave is north facing, which reaches the direct light of the sun very rarely. This keeps the temperature inside the cave below 0 ° C, which makes the ice easily freezing.
Water drips from the roof of the cave, which comes from the melting of the surrounding glaciers or ice. If the water slowly falls down, it moves upwards in the shape of a column or penis. It is scientifically called stalagmite.
