Amarnath Yatra – A Walk Towards Heaven

Amarnath Yatra for this year is due on 29th of June instead of 15th June, which will begin on Jaishth Purnima and will end on Shravan Purima that is Raksha Bandhan. The reduction of the days in the Amarnath Yatra is only for the safety of the of the pilgrims that throng in the yatra and also the climatic conditions do matter, so for this the decision was being

taken by the board of Shri Amarnath Shrine. Now you can have a quick glance at some facts of the Amarnath Yatra, this yatra to the holy cave of Baba Amarnath is a trek bearing the height of 14,500 feet, you can enjoy this yatra with great joy and thrill.

Even though th epilgrims climb in great height, their enthusiam is not reduced either they feel more energetic as the distance passes in more and they feel divinity in the atmosphere. It is a belief of the pilgrims that after attending this Amarnath Yatra they will achieve ‘Moksha’ after death. They also have a belief that A  journey  which  will  rediscover the nature and its love  which  is always  inside but one has never felt. After reaching this divine destination there are prayers conducted before the Shivalinga, the best part of these prayers are that they are carried on in the midst of stunning mountains, beautiful valleys you can here feel the presence of Lord Shiva on the earth’s paradise.
