  1. In J & K. Famous due to drops of water from some hole.


  2. Hindu cave shrine of Amarnath in Jammu and Kashmir

    Situated at 11,000 feet above sea level in south Kashmir's Anantnag district, the cave houses a 'lingam', or stalagmite structure that is seen as an icon of Lord Shiva, one of the Hindu Trinity. The annual pilgrimage will unfold over a two-month period.

    The administration has put in place a three-tier security arrangement to guard the pilgrims. The outer security tier for this year's Yatra is being manned by the army, the middle tier by the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and the inner tier by the J&K police.

    Pilgrims use two routes to reach the cave shrine. The south Kashmir route passes through the tourist resort of Pahalgam from where the trek to the cave is mountainous and tiring.

    Pilgrims have to walk the 32-kilometre track from Pahalgam to Amarnath, which usually takes four days with halts at Chandanwari, Sheshnag and Panchtarni.

    The north Kashmir route passes through Baltal on the foothills of the Zozilla Pass in Ganderbal district where another base camp for the pilgrims has been set up.

    The uphill 12-km trek from Baltal is treacherous passing through some of the highest Himalayan glaciers and narrow ravines.

  3. amarnasth shrine is in the kashmir himalayas.u could trek to it from either pahalgam or from sonmarg.

    from pahalgam its about 100 kms trek ,out of which for the first 16 kms to chandanwadi is a very gentle and pleasant walk.

    There after the climb begins and the rouitew too narrows yet its a beautiful trek.
