Things to Do in Amarnath

Amarnath, located in the Himalayan region of Jammu and Kashmir, is a revered site for Hindus in India. At an elevation of 3,888 meters, the Amarnath Cave is veiled in snow for most of the year, only accessible during summer. The annual Amarnath Yatra, organised by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir, attracts millions of pilgrims seeking Lord Shiva's blessings. Amarnath yatra offers a wealth of experiences for visitors, including breathtaking natural beauty, serene landscapes, and thrilling adventures. Visitors can embark on the sacred Amarnath Yatra, which begins from both Pahalgam and Baltal routes during the Shravan months, or explore the idyllic surroundings of Lidder Valley within the Pir Panjal Himalayan ranges. However, due to high altitude and challenging terrain, certain individuals, such as children below 13, seniors above 75, and pregnant women over six weeks, are exempt from the spiritual journey. Amarnath trip offers a transformative experience for all who visit this sacred destination.
