All about
Amarnath Yatra 2021
Amaranth yatra being the most famous pilgrimage in the whole country that took place in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Amaranth temple cave is situated in the pahalgam village of the state. The shrine is located at an elevation of 3,888 meters above sea level. Thousands of people apply for the registration to visit for darshan, but all of them don’t get registered, for there are so many things that the authorities need to check.
There is a history behind the Amaranth Cave. It is said that Lord Shiva was narrating the Amar-Katha to the Goddess Parvati in this cave because he wanted it to keep it a secret so he left all his companions and his bull Nandi behind, in the village of Pahalgam. When he completed the story, he realized that she had fallen asleep but a parrot was listening to his story. The Lord became enraged with this and throw his Trishul to kill the parrot but the parrot entered the womb of the goddess and soon a baby was born and later became a sage.
The Hindus came here with a great belief and creed. But there are some restrictions regarding traveling and all. Because the people who come here for the yatra had a long way to reach up to the cave. For the

there will be two routes to reach up to the cave.
Two routes take you up to the cave. The first one is from the valley of baltal that is only 14 km away from the temple. Most of the young and fit people and who are somehow adventure lovers took this route as this route is full of the hill-tops and roads full of ups and downs. However this a short-cut to reach but this road is mostly opted for by the travel junkies who love to trek. This route took 1-2 days to reach up to the cave.
The second route is from the main Pahalgam, hence also known as pahalgam yatra. This route takes almost 5-6 days to reach the upper peak of the cave. The valley of Chandanwari is used as the base camp. Starting from the valley of Chandanwari the pilgrims make their way to Pissu top that is 3 km away from chandanwari, and is the first stop. 9 km away from the village of Chandanwari there is another stop known as Sheshnag, followed by Panjtarni, and then finally to the cave of Amaranth.
