Book a tour package of Amarnath Yatra by helicopter in 2024 at the best cost with us. Each year thousands of pilgrims take on this difficult pilgrimage to a small cave located in the Himalayas. The place is believed to be pious because a Swayambhu (self-manifested) Shivling appears at this place every year. Lord Shiva is considered one of the most revered gods in Hindu mythology and is regarded as the destructor of evil forces. Going on an Amarnath Yatra is the dream of every Hindu as the place holds special significance in the Hindu religion. The Amarnath shrine is inaccessible to humans for most of the year because of its location in the Himalayas, and snow is covered at the cave entrance most of the time.

The significance of Amarnath Yatra
There is an interesting story behind Amarnath Yatra. According to Hindu belief, the Amarnath cave was the very place that Lord Shiva selected to dispel the secrets of immortality to Goddess Parvati. So one day, when Parvati asked why he wore the Mundamala (bread of heads), Shiva replied that he did so to keep account of every time Parvati died and was reborn.
Parvati asked him to share the secrets of immortality so that she could always be with Mahadev.
Mahadev made up his mind to tell the secret of immortality to Parvati. Still, for that, he needed a secluded place where no living being could disturb them or overhear the secret of immortality.
The story goes that Shiv Ji did not even take his favorite accomplices with him to Amarnath. Leaving Nandi at Pahalgam, he released the moon from his hair at Chandanwari and let go of the snakes at Lake Sheshnag. Mahadev did not even take his son Ganesha to Amarnath and left him at Mahagunas Parvat. The five elements from which all life forms are made (Earth, fire, water, sky, and air) were left at Panchtarni.
Taking extra precautions, Mahadev created a Rudra called Kalagni and ordered the Rudra to eliminate every living thing in the vicinity of the holy cave. But, in spite of all this, two eggs that lay under the deerskin of Mahadev on which he was sitting, survived and heard the secret of immortality.
Pigeons hatched from these eggs and became immortal along with goddess Parvati.
Ans: Amarnath Cave is situated 6 km away from the Panjtarni helipad.
