amarnath yatra 2009

[Guest guest]

dear friends

 

this year, the annual amarnath yatra is allowed by the government from 7th june

to 5th august. for those who are not aware of these dates etc., they may be

known that the amarnath caveshrine in the kashmir valley gets submerged under

snow during winter and when the snow melts during summer, it becomes possible

for the trekkers to trek through many ice clad mountains spending time at a

height of nearly 15000 feet and pass through icy glaciers to reach the cave

where a naturally formed shivling of ice is found inside the cave.

 

while there are two paths to reach this amarnath cave shrine through the more

famous pahalgam route (though long) through which one can have darshan of

seshnag, the other path through baltal (very short) is preferred by those who

cannot trek, for the distance is very small and to and fro trekking from baltal

to the amarnath cave and back to baltal can be completed between a morning and

an evening.furthermore, there are two helicopters running continuously from

morning to evening from baltal to the cave which hardly takes 7 minutes.

 

registration for the yatra begins from 20th may at all branches of jammu and

kashmir bank or can be done easily through their website www.jkbank.com

 

with best wishes and blessings
