Amarnath
One of the most
priceless of Kashmir tourist places, the Amarnath Shrine is among the most
popular of Hindu shrines across the world. Perched at an altitude of over 3,800
feet above ground, reaching Amarnath requires a fair bit of trekking. On the
way, one can witness the confluence of the river Amaravati with Pantjarni, and
can also take a quick dip in the former.Owing to its height, the cave remains sealed
shut with snow through a major part of the year, and is open to devotees only
for a few short months. The biggest highlight of the Amarnath Cave shrine is
the naturally occurring Shiva Lingam housed within its womb, formed out of
water drops that collect and freeze inside the cave.
Highlights: Amaravati snaan,
naturally occurring Shiva Lingam, stunning views
