Just as we start...

It has been a well planned and thought after trip. You should be well aware of it as I have posted several posts on the build up to the holy amarnathji yatra. Today is the day we have been planning for since the last few weeks. Everything seems to be in place, we are all ready and packed to go. The excitement has made me start my day early and I wish that the trip goes well. We will miss Ritesh who could not join us due to some family issues so finally we are 9 people who are going the distance.

We have been in touch with people who are well aware of the yatra and we have taken advice from all of them, compiled them and then finalized upon a plan. We have planned to start the journey from Baltal and end it at the Pahalgam. Generally people do it from Pahalgam, but that total distance from Pahalgam to the Holy Cave is approx 40 kms and that from Baltal to the Holy Cave is approx 14 kms. So we have decided to take the shorter root to reach the Holy Cave and then we will take the long distance to be back. The Pahalgam route is more picturesque and beautiful in terms of the scenic beauty. The total trekking is approx 55 kms which we have to cover in 3 days so understandably it is going to be a very tiring and strenuous trip but nevertheless we are prepared for it and we believe that when God has opened all the gates for us to reach that place, he will also guide us through.


JAI BHOLE NATH !!!
