Sri AMARNATH JI blessed us on 05th July 2014. After my Yatra to Kailash and Chardham (Yamunothri, Gangotri, Badrinath, and Kedarnath), my dream of a Yatra to Amarnath was fulfilled. The main itinerary in this yatra is Amarnath, Shiv Khori Cave, and Shri Vaishno Devi Cave. During our Amarnath Yatra, some of the tourist places like Srinagar Dal Lake, Shikara ride (Boat ride), Nishat Garden, Mogul Garden, Sonamarg, Gulmarg, Sri Sankaracharya Temple, and Shri Raghunath Temple at Srinagar were also added, since it may not be possible to make a second trip to these places.
SONAMARG.
The meaning of Sonamarg is “Meadow of Gold“. This is about 84 km from Srinagar and it lies at an altitude of 2800 meters above MSL. The river/Nallah is called Sindh, which is a large tributary to the Jhelum River in the Valley of Kashmir. It has a historical gateway for the Silk Road to China and Gulf Countries.
It is a beautiful site to see the snow-capped mountains. Also, this is an important place for skating during the snow season. There was a little activity of skating at the valley.
We stayed at SonaMarg before leaving for Amarnath. In the evening at the bazaar, we met two Tamil Military personnel, who guided us and gave important tips for the Amarnath Yathra.
