About The Place:
Amarnath, a mythological saga. It is said that in the holy cave of Amarnath, Lord Shiva told the secret of immortality to Goddess Parvati. Lord Shiva didn’t want to disclose this secrete to any other living being and therefore he looked for a secluded place for the revelation. Before entering the holy cave, the deity left all the five elements of life (Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Sky) behind at a place which is now famous with the name of Panchtarni. One needs to have high physical strength for climbing the holy Amarnath Cave, as the trail to the pious place is very demanding.
Our pilgrimage package in Kashmir lets you enjoy the spiritual journey with much ease. We make you board a helicopter from Baltal to Panchtarni. Thereafter, you trek 6 kilometers to the holy cave, and on reaching you can pay homage. Then you trek back to Panchtarni, where a helicopter waits to take you to Baltal. From Baltal we take you to Sonmarg, where you stay overnight in the hotel. Next morning our guide helps you explore the splendor of Sonmarg as well as Srinagar. The journey doesn’t end here; later we take you to Gulmarg for enjoying some trekking and golfing activities. In this way our Amarnath Darshan by Helicopter with Gulmarg gives you the pleasure of both pilgrimage and Kashmir tour.
