In this vlog, I'm taking you with me on my Amarnath Yatra journey, covering Chandanwari, Pissu Top, Sheshnag Lake, Mahaguna Top, Panchtarni, and Sangam. From breathtaking views to spine-tingling moments, I'm sharing it all! 😲

The Amarnath Yatra is indeed a challenging journey, both physically and mentally.

Route Options
There are two primary routes to reach the Amarnath Cave:
Pahalgam Route This traditional route spans 36-48 km and typically takes 3-5 days to complete. It's considered more scenic with a gradual slope, making it suitable for those seeking a moderate trek.
Baltal Route: This route is shorter, covering 14 km, but is much steeper and more challenging. It's ideal for experienced trekkers or those short on time.

Challenges
The Amarnath Yatra involves:
High Altitude: The cave is situated at 3,888 meters, and pilgrims need to cross the Mahagunas Pass at 4,276 meters.
Rugged Terrain: The journey involves trekking through rocky and uneven terrain.
Weather Conditions Pilgrims are exposed to harsh weather, including cold temperatures and potential snowfall.

Precautions
To ensure a safe and successful journey:
Physical Conditioning: Pilgrims should be physically fit and prepared for the trek.
Acclimatization It's essential to acclimatize to the high altitude to avoid health issues.
Medical Certificate A compulsory health certificate is required for registration.
Registration Pilgrims need to register in advance, and the process typically starts in April.

Support Services
To facilitate the journey:
