Amarnath Yatra Via Pahalgam

From Chandanwadi the trail winds steeply for 500m to the summit of ridge known as Pissu Top (3,390m). From here, there are commanding views back down the valley to the mountains beyond Pahalgam. During the main pilgrimage, the tea stall owners do a thriving business, which keeps the pilgrims going on the long incline to the next main resting area at Wawajana (3,550m). From here it is two to three km further to Sheshnag Peak (3,720m). The glacial lake at the foot of the Sheshnag mountain is set in remarkable surroundings, its waters reflecting the snow capped peaks of Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma.

Many pilgrims return from Panchtarni to Chandanwadi in one day. After completing their pilgrimage to the cave most are happy to trek as far as they can the following Day.

On the final Day most pilgrims arrive back in the Pahalgam bazaar with enough time to complete the drive to Srinagar or Jammu the same day.
