During the months of sharavan (July
and August), the Hindu community hums with activity
in the Amarnath Yatra, when multitudes of the Hindu
faithful from all over the world visit Amarnath caves.
India Pilgrimage Tours are there every step of the
way.
As this Pilgrimage Tour India would prove, there
really is nothing special about the said caves, save
for the so-called ice Lingam, the phallic symbol of
Hindu deity Lord Shiva.
According to legend, Lord Shiva recounted to Parvati
the secret of creation in a cave in Amarnath.

A pair of doves in the cave had apparently eavesdropped
on the conversation. For that, the doves are reborn again
and again, and have made the cave their eternal abode amidst
the Lingam. Such
occasion makes for Indian Pilgrimage Travel across Jammu and
Kashmir.
If weather forecasts prove
auspicious, India pilgrimage Tour can be had for such
occasion.
This Indian Pilgrimage Tour entails a trek up to
an elevation of 14,500-ft towards the holy caves.
Attaining moksha does not get any nearer than through
this trek.
In any case, this Pilgrimage Tour India can be satisfyingly
completed in 5 days.
A visit to Srinagar and Pahalgam is in order for this
trek, but the springboard for this India pilgrimage
Tour is the town of Chandanwari. |

The trek from Chandanwari to the cave traverses an ancient
peregrine route.
Alternatively, there are other portals to the cave. Apparently, another gateway to Amarnath is from Sonamarg via Baltal at an elevation point of 3000 m. Sonamarg lies on Srinagar-Leh road, northeast from Srinagar.
About 15 km ahead is Baltal, a charming small valley lying in the foothills of Zojila Pass. From here, the cave should be a day's journey.
For prospective participants of this Indian Pilgrimage Tour, they must register first at Jammu and Kashmir Tourist Offices located at key cities throughout the subcontinent.
