The Amarnath Yatra

By its side are, fascinatingly, two more ice -lingams, that of Parvati, and their son, Ganesha
.
Situated in a narrow gorge at the farther end of Lidder valley, Amaranth stands at 3,888 m and is 46 km from Pahalgam and 141 km from Srinagar.

The Holy Cave of Amarnath Ji is just a day’s journey away from here. The trail from Baltal to the Holy Cave lies along very steep hillsides. Several snow bridges on the fast flowing streams have to be crossed over, while during the Holy Cave is quite near, the trail from Pahalgam meets the Baltal route.

Mata Vaihno Devi Pilgrimage

The cave shrine of Mata Vasihnodeviji or Trikuta Bhagwati (alt: 5,200 ft.) has been a beacon of faith and fulfillment to millions of devotees from all over the world.

There are many who journey year after year to pay obeisance regardless of their faith or belief, creed or class, caste or religion.

Sindu Darshan

The mighty Sindhu (Indus) River symbolizes the power and permanence of the ancient Indian civilization, which evolved over a period of thousands of years. The archaeological discovery of the Indus Valley civilization, which flourished along its banks, has reinforced the antiquity of the Indian civilization. The journey of Sindhu (also spelt as Sindhu) through India transports one to a civilization going back 5,000 years. The Indus Valley civilization is synonymous from Harappa and Mohenjodaro.
Sindhu is divine. In the beginning was the word. The first recorded word was the Veda. The earliest mention of this great river is in the Vedas. The Sindhu - the cradle of Indian civilisation - finds its most dramatic description in the Rig Veda (circa.1500 BC).

The Sindhu Darshan or Sindhu Festival aims at projecting the Indus as a symbol of India's unity and communal harmony. Sindhu stands for peaceful coexistence and communal harmony. The Sindu Darshan Piligrimage is done on June.
