My Special Destination : Holy Amarnath Temple

Date of Visit : June 28, 2012. (Summer)

 Well why should this destination be so special??
I have many answers, but importantly  it was my conscience which told me to go to a place where I'd touch my first snow and remember it all my life.

After completing my engineering with Distinction, unlike many of my peers who have planned and went ahead with Goa trips, I was not at all interested in that now.

I knew I had a great time right now to do some incredible journeys with the same money and time.

So I followed my heart and scrutinized all possible destinations, mostly which I haven't ever heard and knw nothing. Somehow when I chanced upon the this Holy temple description, it stroke an aspiration of proving something to myself. With some necessary Planning I zeroed on  15 Day tour covering a good stretch of the Northern part of our country, i.e

Delhi-Jammu-Srinagar-Baltal-Amarnath-Katra-Amritsar-Kurukshetra.

For the Good sake I'd say let me not delve into the finer details of all these places at once.

I'd say now in this Post only regarding MY TREK to the Holy Amarnath Temple.

In short bullet points, for those who would be interested to know -

• Keep a Strong Heart because it is to be taken for granted that this place is dangerous due to "Uncertainty" of either the climate, your Health, or fate.

• Keep faith onto something, anything that you believe, because you would not like to stay empty minded all through the journey.

  Important : This is not a place to be visited just before you die. It is something much beyond a travel destination... I personally feel every person will have a unique feeling about his purpose and experience of visiting it.

• Keep a short company i.e group of 2-4 at max. You will not be able to manage beyond that number to stay as a group at all.

• Pre-decide your alternative. If someone is going to fall behind/sick/accident etc. What to do?

• Since there will be no communication devices(No cell signal). Do not lose sight of any member of your group at all.

  The best way for those who don't want to trek ( afraid of dangerous path/pony/stamina) is - Helicopter (in return path preferably).
  
  

  I trekked  only one way. 
  2 people - me and my cousin Brother, SAGAR.
  Our return was on pony. 
  (The reason for that - we both being fallen sick and it almost got late evening)

  ~ ~Yet there is lot more to it..., which I'm not sharing here.~ ~
  

  #Highlight in Return Journey was -

  
  

  Walking right across Ice glacier in the most dangerous path I'd seen at 10Pm in just the Moonlight and still returning safely back to the LAND.
