It takes 3 days to reach the cave through this route, but this route is easy. There is no steep climb in the journey. The first stop from Pahalgam is Chandanwadi. It is 16 km from the base camp. The climb starts from here. After a climb of three kilometers the trek reaches Pissu Top. From here the trek reaches Sheshnag in the evening. The journey is about 9 km. Next day the pilgrims go to Panchtarni from Sheshnag. It is about 14 km from Sheshnag. This cave is just 6 km away from Panchtarni.
Baltal Marg:
If time is short then you can go through Baltal route for darshan of Baba Amarnath. It involves climbing only 14 km, but it is quite steep, hence the elderly have to face difficulty on this path. This route has narrow paths and dangerous turns.
How many devotees come to see Baba?
Last time around 4.50 lakh devotees had come. This time 6 lakh passengers are likely to arrive. The tour is of short duration and there will be more crowd, hence more arrangements are being made. Arrangements for food, halt and health check-up will be made throughout the route. Preparations are underway for two camp hospitals equipped with oxygen booths, ICU beds, X-ray, sonography machines and liquid oxygen plants.
Know how is the path to see Baba:
Earlier the 46 km long route from Pahalgam to the cave was 3 to 4 feet wide and the Baltal route was 2 feet wide. Now it has been widened to 14 feet. According to the Border Roads Organization, the 14 kilometer road from Baltal to Gufa has become 7 to 12 feet wide. This is a motorable road. Helicopter service is also available.
