Amarnath Yatra

Tripoto
3rd Oct 2019
Day 1

Traveled from Delhi to Srinagar via flight.
From Srinagar Airport I booked a shared cab which charge around 500/- Rupees per person to Pahalgam.
Reached at around 3PM at Pahalgam.
Booked a hotel worth Rupees 500/- for overnight.

Day 2

Started my Journey early in the morning at around 4:30AM in the morning i.e. booked a cab for around 1000/- Rupees from Pahalgam to Chandanwadi which is 16KMs.
From Chandanwadi all documents i.e. Yatra permit, medical permit and one address proof identification card is verified.
After verification I started my Yatra by foot at around 6AM.
The Yatra from Pahalgam is basically have five stops and I'll explaining each in detail.

So the Yatra from Chandanwadi to the first stop is Pissu top which is around 3.5KM which is second most difficult trekk in the entire Yatra. An average trekker can take around 3-4 hours to cover this 3.5km journey. One should cross Pissu top before 12PM to move further in the Journey.
From Pissu top the Next stop is 6km away which is known as  Sheshnag.  It's one of the most beautiful place I have ever been in this world. The beauty of the nature cannot be described in words.
The trekk from Pissu top to Sheshnag is not that difficult. One can easily cover in two to three hours.
You should cross Sheshnag till 2PM otherwise you will not be allowed further for the day to continue the Yatra.
From Sheshnag the next stop is Ganesh Top - the most difficult journey or the trekk I ever have been to. It's only 3.5 km long trekk but it can take around 5-6 hours. The trekk is full of slippery ice with no proper route. One has to climb mountain to reach there.
After reaching Ganesh Top the further Yatra is not that difficult.
From Ganesh Top to the next stop is Panchtarni which is 3km away. The trekk was full of snow.
But the Beauty and the nature is like seeing your best dream live.
I took a stop at Panchtarni. Camps is easily available with 500 to 650 rupees bed system.

Day 3

I begin my journey from Panchtarni to the Holly cave which is around 5 km away. The trekk is not difficult but yet makes you feel tired but have faith in God and have Shiva in your ❤️ he will take you there.
I reached Holly cave at around 11AM in the morning. Took Prasad from a shop and they will keep your bags and phone safely and securely. It took me around 1 more hour to see the Divine spirit my Shiva in the form of Ice in the Holly cave.
After having darshan I took the Holly cave to baltal route which is in total 15 km but very difficult route.
I reached baltal at around 5 PM in the evening.
People are allowed to leave the baltal base camp in between 3:30AM to 5:30AM in the morning in the security of army personnel. If you are late by 5:30AM than you should be allowed to go the next day.
I took a camp there for around 400/- rupees per per bedding system.

Day 4

The next day I took the Yatra bus from baltal to Srinagar and reached by 6AM in the morning. Took the flight back to Delhi.
I must tell you one thing if you planning the same that please carry less clothes and one light weight rain coat. All do not carry suitcase kind of bags. One must have bagpack to easily trekk the Yatra.
Don't think about what you will eat. Food is totally free. I meant to say you will find all variety of foods available in India in the Langer's arranged there by devotee which is totally free of cost. Even you will not believe there was dosa, Momo's, chaps, fruit juice everything was there free of cost.
It's all the belief of Lord Shiva one must have and start your journey. He will take you and will help you in tackling your obstacles.
Har Har Mahadev...
